The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS
(Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation).
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present.
It typically provides greater performance over the incumbent
generic retpolines mitigation.
Patch 1 adds support for AutoIBRS and other feature
bits in the CPUID_8000_0021_EAX leaf.
Patch 2 adds support for AMD Automatic IBRS
