Oof, I butchered his last name, but the quote I found was this:

    "Details: Tom Lendacky from AMD writes[4] -- "The idea behind
    'virt-ssbd' was to provide an architectural method for a guest to do
    SSBD when 'amd-ssbd' isn't present.  The 'amd-ssbd' feature will use
    SPEC_CTRL which is intended to not be intercepted and will be fast.
    The use of 'virt-ssbd' will always be intercepted and therefore will
    not be as fast.  So a guest should be presented with 'amd-ssbd', if
    available, in preference to 'virt-ssbd'.

It seems for these EPYC CPUs with qemu on 8.1, virt-ssbd isn't an option 
anymore and it has to be amd-ssbd for the VM to work?
