4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com>
commit 1115a859f33276fe8afb31c60cf9d8e657872558 upstream
Intel and AMD SPEC_CTRL (0x48) MSR semantics may differ in the
future (or in fact use different MSRs for the same functionality).
As such a run-time mechanism is required to whitelist the appropriate MSR
values.
[ tglx: Made the variable __ro_after_init ]
