File xsa407-0a.patch of Package xen.28173

From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Drop SPEC_CTRL_{ENTRY_FROM,EXIT_TO}_HVM

These were written before Spectre/Meltdown went public, and there was large
uncertainty in how the protections would evolve.  As it turns out, they're
very specific to Intel hardware, and not very suitable for AMD.

Drop the macros, opencoding the relevant subset of functionality, and leaving
grep-fodder to locate the logic.  No change at all for VT-x.

For AMD, the only relevant piece of functionality is DO_OVERWRITE_RSB,
although we will soon be adding (different) logic to handle MSR_SPEC_CTRL.

This has a marginal improvement of removing an unconditional pile of long-nops
from the vmentry/exit path.
