preferred for Intel
hardware), with the alternatives being `jmp` (a `jmp *%reg` gadget, minimal
overhead), and `lfence` (an `lfence; jmp *%reg` gadget, preferred for AMD).
+On hardware supporting IBRS, the `ibrs=` option can be used to force or
+prevent Xen using the feature itself. If Xen is not using IBRS itself,
+functionality is still set up so IBRS can be virtualised for guests.
