721f791ce1 x86/boot: Use 32-bit XOR to clear registers
x86_64 zero extends 32-bit operations, so for 64-bit operands,
XORL r32,r32 is functionally equal to XORQ r64,r64, but avoids
a REX prefix byte when legacy registers are used.

Slightly smaller code generated, no change in functionality.

f94909ceb1 x86: Prepare asm files for straight-line-speculation
Replace all ret/retq instructions with RET in preparation of making
RET a macro. Since AS is case insensitive it's a big no-op without
RET defined.

  find arch/x86/ -name \*.S | while read file
  do
	sed -i 's/\<ret[q]*\>/RET/' $file
  done

86ce43f7dd x86/boot/compressed/64: Check SEV encryption in 64-bit boot-path
Check whether the hypervisor reported the correct C-bit when running as
an SEV guest. Using a wrong C-bit position could be used to leak
sensitive data from the guest to the hypervisor.

The check function is in a separate file:

  arch/x86/kernel/sev_verify_cbit.S

so that it can be re-used in the running kernel image.
