The following patches are based on v3 from Tim Chen https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1582043.html
This patch set supports exposing MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD for user space. Thomas is steam blowing v3 :-).. but I didn't want to keep holding this much longer for the rebase to be complete in tip/x86/pti.
