File xsa297-1.patch of Package xen.openSUSE_Leap_42.3_Update
x86/spec-ctrl: CPUID/MSR definitions for Microarchitectural Data Sampling
The MD_CLEAR feature can be automatically offered to guests. No
infrastructure is needed in Xen to support the guest making use of it.
This is part of XSA-297 / CVE-2018-12126 / CVE-2018-12127 / CVE-2018-12130.
