cpu: define the 'virt-ssbd' CPUID feature bit (CVE-2018-3639)
    
    Some AMD processors only support a non-architectural means of
    enabling Speculative Store Bypass Disable. To allow simplified
    handling in virtual environments, hypervisors will expose an
    architectural definition through CPUID bit 0x80000008_EBX[25].
    This needs to be exposed to guest OS running on AMD x86 hosts to
    allow them to protect against CVE-2018-3639.
    
    Note that since this CPUID bit won't be present in the host CPUID
    results on physical hosts, it will not be enabled automatically
    in guests configured with "host-model" CPU unless using QEMU
    version >= 2.9.0. Thus for older versions of QEMU, this feature
    must be manually enabled using policy=force. Guests using the
    "host-passthrough" CPU mode do not need special handling.
