As mentioned in #1742995, one patch is incomplete and doesn't expose the
appropriate CPUID for KVM hosts when running on Intel hardware.
8339cae23d79be97a38df3852ef5dab870806a58 should add speculative control
CPUID support for guests. The patch looks truncated as it defines
KVM_CPUID_BIT_SPEC_CTRL but doesn't use it. I am using this patch
instead: https://github.com/exoscale/pkg-
kernel-4.4/blob/xenial/debian/patches/ibrs%2Bkvm/0002-kvm-x86-add-
speculative-control-cpuid-support-for-guests.patch. The additional bits
compared to the patch from SuSE (https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-
source/blob/SLE12-SP3/patches.suse/27-kvm-x86-add-speculative-control-
cpuid-support-for-guests.patch) are needed because this is the first
time a CPUID 7.0 feature is exposed on EDX.
