New Revision: 355701
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/355701

Log:
  Merge r355134,355375,355589
  
  Clean up and clarify meta commentary on TAA.  Add a state to denote
  that TSX doesn't exist on the CPU.
  
  x86: Add missed break to TAA status sysctl
  
  Fix the TAA state machine to do the right thing when the TAA
  migitation is available in microcode and the operator has set
  the sysctl to automatic mode.
