Add Kconfig option for enabling clearing of registers on arrival in an
interrupt handler. This reduces the speculation influence of registers
on kernel internals. The option will be consumed by 64-bit systems that
feature speculation and wish to implement this mitigation.
This patch only introduces the Kconfig option, no actual mitigations.
The primary overhead of this mitigation lies in an increased number of
registers that must be saved and restored by interrupt handlers on
Book3S systems. Enable by default on Book3E systems, which prior to
this patch eagerly save and restore register state, meaning that the
mitigation when implemented will have minimal overhead.
