    x86/cpu-policy: Derive RSBA/RRSBA for guest policies
    
    The RSBA bit, "RSB Alternative", means that the RSB may use alternative
    predictors when empty.  From a practical point of view, this mean "Retpoline
    not safe".
    
    Enhanced IBRS (officially IBRS_ALL in Intel's docs, previously IBRS_ATT) is 
a
    statement that IBRS is implemented in hardware (as opposed to the form
    retrofitted to existing CPUs in microcode).
    
    The RRSBA bit, "Restricted-RSBA", is a combination of RSBA, and the eIBRS
    property that predictions are tagged with the mode in which they were 
learnt.
    Therefore, it means "when eIBRS is active, the RSB may fall back to
    alternative predictors but restricted to the current prediction mode".  As
    such, it's stronger statement than RSBA, but still means "Retpoline not 
safe".
    
    CPUs are not expected to enumerate both RSBA and RRSBA.
    
    Add feature dependencies for EIBRS and RRSBA.  While technically they're not
    linked, absolutely nothing good can come of letting the guest see RRSBA
    without EIBRS.  Nor a guest seeing EIBRS without IBRSB.  Furthermore, we use
    this dependency to simplify the max derivation logic.
    
    The max policies gets RSBA and RRSBA unconditionally set (with the EIBRS
    dependency maybe hiding RRSBA).  We can run any VM, even if it has been told
    "somewhere you might run, Retpoline isn't safe".
    
    The default policies are more complicated.  A guest shouldn't see both bits,
    but it needs to see one if the current host suffers from any form of RSBA, 
and
    which bit it needs to see depends on whether eIBRS is visible or not.
    Therefore, the calculation must be performed after sanitise_featureset().
