Controls for speculative execution sidechannel mitigations. By default, Xen
will pick the most appropriate mitigations based on compiled in support,
guest use. On Intel hardware, the feature is virtualised for guests,
independently of Xen's choice of setting.
+On all hardware, the `eager-fpu=` option can be used to force or prevent Xen
+from using fully eager FPU context switches. This is currently implemented as
+a global control. By default, Xen will choose to use fully eager context
+switches on hardware believed to speculate past #NM exceptions.
