+ stuff - Enables "stuffing" mode mitigation,
+ which uses return thunking and call depth
+ tracking. Only in effect if
+ CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING is set and
+ Spectre V2 mitigation mode is
+ "retpoline".
+ IBRS is fully secure mitigation but is
+ more costly (slower) than stuffing.
unret - Force enable untrained return thunks,
only effective on AMD f15h-f17h based
systems.
