On AMD IBRS does not prevent Retbleed; as such use IBPB before a
firmware call to flush the branch history state.
And because in order to do an EFI call, the kernel maps a whole lot of
the kernel page table into the EFI page table, do an IBPB just in case
in order to prevent the scenario of poisoning the BTB and causing an EFI
call using the unprotected RET there.
