Andrew Cooper 14bcad6593 x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigate Transitive Scheduler Attacks
TSA affects AMD Fam19h CPUs (Zen3 and 4 microarchitectures).

Three new CPUID bits have been defined.  Two (TSA_SQ_NO and TSA_L1_NO)
indicate that the system is unaffected, and must be synthesised by Xen on
unaffected parts to date.

A third new bit indicates that VERW now has a flushing side effect.  Xen must
synthesise this bit on affected systems based on microcode version.  As with
other VERW-based flushing features, VERW_CLEAR needs OR-ing across a resource
pool, and guests which have seen it can safely migrate in.

This is part of XSA-471 / CVE-2024-36350 / CVE-2024-36357.
