The 'mitigations=off' cmdline option disables all CPU mitigations at runtime. It's intended for users who are running with trusted user space and don't want the performance impact associated with all the mitigations. Up until now, it was only used for CPU mitigations. However, there can also be optional software mitigations which have performance impact. Expand 'mitigations=' to include optional software mitigations. After all there's nothing in the "mitigations" name which limits it to CPU vulnerabilities. In theory we could introduce separate {cpu,sw}_mitigations= options, but for the time being there's no need to separate them out. It's simpler to have them combined since the use case of "I have trusted user space and don't want the performance impacts of unneeded mitigations" is the same, regardless of the source of the bug. Move the interfaces around and rename them to reflect the new broader impact of mitigations=off. No functional changes.
