Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs: Add "unknown" reporting for MMIO Stale Data

Older Intel CPUs that are not in the affected processor list for MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities currently report "Not affected" in sysfs, which may not be correct. Vulnerability status for these older CPUs is unknown.

Add known-not-affected CPUs to the whitelist. Report "unknown" mitigation status for CPUs that are not in blacklist, whitelist and also don't enumerate MSR ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits that reflect hardware immunity to MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.

Mitigation is not deployed when the status is unknown.

[ bp: Massage, fixup. ]

Fixes 8d50cdf8b834 ("x86/speculation/mmio: Add sysfs reporting for Processor MMIO Stale Data")

+End of Servicing Updates (ESU): ESU is the date at which Intel will no
