Using retpoline ensures the kernel is safe because it doesn't contain
any indirect branches, but firmware still can — and we make calls into
firmware at runtime. Where the IBRS microcode support is available, use
that before calling into firmware.

While doing that, I noticed that we were calling C functions without
telling the compiler about the call-clobbered registers. Stop that.

This also contains the always_inline fix for the performance problem
introduced by retpoline in KVM code, and fixes some other issues with
the per-vCPU KVM handling for the SPEC_CTRL MSR.

Finally, update the microcode blacklist to reflect the latest
information from Intel.

v2: Drop IBRS_ALL patch for the time being
    Add KVM MSR fixes (karahmed)
    Update microcode blacklist
