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. :)
