+ off - no mitigation
+ auto - automatically select a migitation
+ auto,nosmt - automatically select a mitigation,
+ disabling SMT if necessary for
+ the full mitigation (only on Zen1
+ and older without STIBP).
+ ibpb - mitigate short speculation windows on
+ basic block boundaries too. Safe, highest
+ perf impact.
+ unret - force enable untrained return thunks,
+ only effective on AMD f15h-f17h
+ based systems.
+ unret,nosmt - like unret, will disable SMT when STIBP
+ is not available.
+
+ Selecting 'auto' will choose a mitigation method at run
+ time according to the CPU.

+ Not specifying this option is equivalent to retbleed=auto.
