[PATCH 6/8] kvm: svm: pass MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD down to guest

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Jan 09 2018 - 07:03:34 EST


Direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD is important
for performance. Allow load/store of MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, restore guest
IBRS on VM entry and set it to 0 on VM exit (because Linux does not use
it yet).
