    Since there's some heartburn about the STIBP naming, should we make this
    more generic? Maybe something like "SMT hardening", so it says:

    "User space: Mitigation: SMT hardening via prctl"

    or,

    "User space: Mitigation: maybe go slow on indirect branches via prctl"

    if we're trying be more precise on the effects. :)
