Pull x86 TSX Async Abort and iTLB Multihit mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all of
  presenting the seventh installment of speculation mitigations and
  hardware misfeature workarounds:

   1) TSX Async Abort (TAA) - 'The Annoying Affair'

      TAA is a hardware vulnerability that allows unprivileged
      speculative access to data which is available in various CPU
      internal buffers by using asynchronous aborts within an Intel TSX
      transactional region.

      The mitigation depends on a microcode update providing a new MSR
      which allows to disable TSX in the CPU. CPUs which have no
      microcode update can be mitigated by disabling TSX in the BIOS if
      the BIOS provides a tunable.

      Newer CPUs will have a bit set which indicates that the CPU is not
      vulnerable, but the MSR to disable TSX will be available
      nevertheless...
