[PATCH] x86: Expose more MSR_ARCH_CAPS to hwdom



commit e46474278a0e ("x86/intel: Expose MSR_ARCH_CAPS to dom0") started
exposing MSR_ARCH_CAPS to dom0.  More bits in MSR_ARCH_CAPS have since
been defined, but they haven't been exposed.  Update the list to allow
them through.

As one example, this allows a linux Dom0 to know that it has the
appropriate microcode via FB_CLEAR.  Notably, and with the updated
microcode, this changes dom0's
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mmio_stale_data changes from:
"Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode; SMT Host state
unknown"
to:
"Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT Host state unknown"

This ecposes the MMIO Stale Data and Intel Branch History Injection
(BHI) controls as well as the page size change MCE issue bit.

Fixes: commit 2ebe8fe9b7e0 ("x86/spec-ctrl: Enumeration for MMIO Stale Data 
controls")
Fixes: commit cea9ae062295 ("x86/spec-ctrl: Enumeration for new Intel BHI 
controls")
Fixes: commit 59e89cdabc71 ("x86/vtx: Disable executable EPT superpages to work 
around CVE-2018-12207")

This is the broader replacement for "x86: Add MMIO Stale Data arch_caps
to hardware domain".

It wasn't discussed previously, but ARCH_CAPS_IF_PSCHANGE_MC_NO is added
as well.

This patch can't be directly backported because cea9ae062295 was not
backported.
