+ Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors rely
+ on being able to manipulate the branch predictor for a victim
+ context by executing aliasing branches in the attacker context.
+ Such attacks can be partially mitigated against by clearing
+ internal branch predictor state and limiting the prediction
+ logic in some situations.
+
+ This config option will take CPU-specific actions to harden
+ the branch predictor against aliasing attacks and may rely on
+ specific instruction sequences or control bits being set by
+ the system firmware.
