BHI mitigation mode spectre_bhi=auto does not deploy the software mitigation by default. In a cloud environment, it is a likely scenario where userspace is trusted but the guests are not trusted. Deploying system wide mitigation in such cases is not desirable. Update the auto mode to unconditionally mitigate against malicious guests. Deploy the software sequence at VMexit in auto mode also, when hardware mitigation is not available. Unlike the force =on mode, software sequence is not deployed at syscalls in auto mode.
