Subject: [PATCH v6 4/9] x86/vmscape: Move mitigation selection to a switch()
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 22:19:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201-vmscape-bhb-v6-4-d610dd515714@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251201-vmscape-bhb-v6-0-d610dd515714@linux.intel.com>

This ensures that all mitigation modes are explicitly handled, while
keeping the mitigation selection for each mode together. This also prepares
for adding BHB-clearing mitigation mode for VMSCAPE.
