x86/AMD: Mitigations for GPZ SP4 - Speculative Store Bypass
AMD processors will execute loads and stores with the same base register in
program order, which is typically how a compiler emits code.
Therefore, by default no mitigating actions are taken, despite there being
corner cases which are vulnerable to the issue.
For performance testing, or for users with particularly sensitive workloads,
the `spec-ctrl=ssbd` command line option is available to force Xen to disable
Memory Disambiguation on applicable hardware.
