This patch is part of the patch series to add support for ARMv8.5-A
extensions.
(https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile/exploration-tools)
The encodings can be found in the System Register XML.
This patch adds support for the mitigation for Spectre Variant 4 by
adding the PSTATE bit SSBS which are accessible using MSR and MRS
instructions. Although this is a mandatory addition to the ARMv8.5-A,
it is permitted to be added to any version of the ARMv8 architecture.
This is enabled using the command line option of +ssbs for older
versions.
