Greg,

I actually found that there are a number of dependent IBPB related patches that 
haven't been
backported yet to 4.4:

    x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD feature bits for Speculation Control
    (cherry picked from commit 5d10cbc91d9eb5537998b65608441b592eec65e7)

    x86/msr: Add definitions for new speculation control MSRs
    (cherry picked from commit 1e340c60d0dd3ae07b5bedc16a0469c14b9f3410)

    x86/speculation: Add basic IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier) support
    (cherry picked from commit 20ffa1caecca4db8f79fe665acdeaa5af815a24d)

    x86/cpufeatures: Clean up Spectre v2 related CPUID flags
    (cherry picked from commit 2961298efe1ea1b6fc0d7ee8b76018fa6c0bcef2)

And probably and a few more.
You have plans to backport these patches?

Tim
