x86/boot: Calculate the most appropriate BTI mitigation to use
See the logic and comments in init_speculation_mitigations() for further
details.
There are two controls for RSB overwriting, because in principle there are
cases where it might be safe to forego rsb_native (Off the top of my head,
SMEP active, no 32bit PV guests at all, no use of vmevent/paging subsystems
for HVM guests, but I make no guarantees that this list of restrictions is
exhaustive).

x86/spec_ctrl: Fix determination of when to use IBRS
The original version of this logic was:
/*
* On Intel hardware, we'd like to use retpoline in preference to
* IBRS, but only if it is safe on this hardware.
*/
else if ( boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_IBRSB) )
{
if ( retpoline_safe() )
thunk = THUNK_RETPOLINE;
else
ibrs = true;
}
but it was changed by a request during review. Sadly, the result is buggy
as
it breaks the later fallback logic by allowing IBRS to appear as available
when in fact it isn't.
This in practice means that on repoline-unsafe hardware without IBRS, we
select THUNK_JUMP despite intending to select THUNK_RETPOLINE.

preferred for Intel
hardware), with the alternatives being `jmp` (a `jmp *%reg` gadget, minimal
overhead), and `lfence` (an `lfence; jmp *%reg` gadget, preferred for AMD).
+On hardware supporting IBRS, the `ibrs=` option can be used to force or
+prevent Xen using the feature itself. If Xen is not using IBRS itself,
+functionality is still set up so IBRS can be virtualised for guests.
+
+The `rsb_vmexit=` and `rsb_native=` options can be used to fine tune when the
+RSB gets overwritten. There are individual controls for an entry from HVM
+context, and an entry from a native (PV or Xen) context.
