    x86/intel: Expose MSR_ARCH_CAPS to dom0
    
    The overhead of (the lack of) MDS_NO alone has been measured at 30% on some
    workloads.  While we're not in a position yet to offer MSR_ARCH_CAPS 
generally
    to guests, dom0 doesn't migrate, so we can pass a subset of hardware values
    straight through.
    
    This will cause PVH dom0's not to use KPTI by default, and all dom0's not to
    use VERW flushing by default, and to use eIBRS in preference to retpoline on
    recent Intel CPUs.
