+ Enable mitigation for Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS).
+ SRBDS is a hardware vulnerability that allows Microarchitectural Data
+ Sampling (MDS) techniques to infer values returned from special
+ register accesses. An unprivileged user can extract values returned
+ from RDRAND and RDSEED executed on another core or sibling thread
+ using MDS techniques.
