IBRS mitigation for spectre_v2 forces write to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL at every kernel entry/exit. On Enhanced IBRS parts setting MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL[IBRS] only once at boot is sufficient. MSR writes at every kernel entry/exit incur unnecessary performance loss. When Enhanced IBRS feature is present, print a warning about this unnecessary performance loss.
