This should be "spec_store_bypass_disable" and it should have the same
parameters as on x86: "on", "off", "auto". Why not just add "kernel"?
(we had a "kernel" early on for x86 as well, and it might still end up
coming back anyway). If there's a /compelling/ reason to have the Arm
parameter differ, then it should still recognize the x86 parameter,
similarly to how POWER also does that for cross-arch consistency.
We'll add the x86 parameter way of doing it to RHEL anyway.
Jon.
