I suggest updating the description of SRSO-related mitigations in the
"Important CPU features for AMD x86 hosts" section of docs/system/
cpu-models-x86.rst.inc.
If you could also synchronize the CPU model (you added in this series)
in the "Preferred CPU models for AMD x86 hosts" section, that would be
even better. :-)

These feature bits defination could be added in patch 7 because only
patch 7 uses these macros.
BTW, which platform supports CPUID_8000_0021_EAX_SRSO_NO? I found that
even the Turin model added in patch 7 does not support this feature.
Thanks,
Zhao

Hi Zhao,
Thanks for the review.

Sure. Will look into both of these.

Sure. Looks like Paolo already pulled this in. I will take care of this if
there is another revision.

SRSO_NO is not supported in Turin. I added it for completion as it is in
the same CPUID fn.
