previously wasn't possible.

* `pv=` and `hvm=` offer control over all suboptions for PV and HVM guests
respectively.
* Each other option can be used either as a plain boolean
(e.g. `spec-ctrl=rsb` to control both the PV and HVM sub-options), or with
`pv=` or `hvm=` subsuboptions (e.g. `spec-ctrl=rsb=no-hvm` to disable HVM
RSB only).
* `msr-sc=` offers control over Xen's support for manipulating `MSR_SPEC_CTRL`
on entry and exit. These blocks are necessary to virtualise support for
guests and if disabled, guests will be unable to use IBRS/STIBP/SSBD/etc.
