KVM implements the firmware interface for mitigating cache speculation
vulnerabilities. Guests may use this interface to ensure mitigation is
active.
If we want to migrate such a guest to a host with a different support
level for those workarounds, migration might need to fail, to ensure that
critical guests don't loose their protection.
Introduce a way for userland to save and restore the workarounds state.
On restoring we do checks that make sure we don't downgrade our
mitigation level.
