Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] nospec: Add a generic barrier_nospec()
Date:   Mon, 24 Oct 2022 15:57:46 -0700

barrier_nospec() is a speculation barrier with an arch dependent
implementation. Architectures that don't need a speculation barrier
shouldn't have to define an arch specific version.

To be able to use barrier_nospec() in non-architecture code add a
generic version that does nothing. Architectures needing speculation
barrier can override the generic version in their asm/barrier.h.
