+ Enable mitigation for RETBleed (Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution
+ with Return Instructions) vulnerability. RETBleed is a speculative
+ execution attack which takes advantage of microarchitectural behavior
+ in many modern microprocessors, similar to Spectre v2. An
+ unprivileged attacker can use these flaws to bypass conventional
+ memory security restrictions to gain read access to privileged memory
+ that would otherwise be inaccessible.
