All CPU vulnerabilities with command line options map to a single X86_BUG bit except for Spectre V2 where both the spectre_v2 and spectre_v2_user command line options are related to the same bug. The spectre_v2 command line options mostly relate to user->kernel and guest->host mitigations, while the spectre_v2_user command line options relate to user->user or guest->guest protections. Define a new X86_BUG bit for spectre_v2_user so each *_select_mitigation() function in bugs.c is related to a unique X86_BUG bit. No functional changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
