Right now, dom0's feature configuration is split between between the common
path and a dom0-specific one. This mostly is by accident, and causes some
very subtle bugs.
First, start by clearly defining init_dom0_cpuid_policy() to be the domain
that Xen builds automatically. The late hwdom case is still constructed in a
mostly normal way, with the control domain having full discretion over the CPU
policy.
Identifying this highlights a latent bug - the two halves of the MSR_ARCH_CAPS
bodge are asymmetric with respect to the hardware domain. This means that
shim, or a control-only dom0 sees the MSR_ARCH_CAPS CPUID bit but none of the
MSR content. This in turn declares the hardware to be retpoline-safe by
failing to advertise the {R,}RSBA bits appropriately. Restrict this logic to
the hardware domain, although the special case will cease to exist shortly.
For the CPUID Faulting adjustment, the comment in ctxt_switch_levelling()
isn't actually relevant. Provide a better explanation.
Move the recalculate_cpuid_policy() call outside of the dom0-cpuid= case.
This is no change for now, but will become necessary shortly.
Finally, place the second half of the MSR_ARCH_CAPS bodge after the
recalculate_cpuid_policy() call. This is necessary to avoid transiently
breaking the hardware domain's view while the handling is cleaned up. This
special case will cease to exist shortly.
