+On hardware supporting SRBDS_CTRL, the `srb-lock=` option can be used to force
+or prevent Xen from protect the Special Register Buffer from leaking stale
+data. By default, Xen will enable this mitigation, except on parts where MDS
+is fixed and TAA is fixed/mitigated (in which case, there is believed to be no
