/// Pass that injects an MI thunk that is used to lower indirect calls in a way
/// that prevents speculation on some x86 processors and can be used to mitigate
/// security vulnerabilities due to targeted speculative execution and side
/// channels such as CVE-2017-5715.
///
/// Currently supported thunks include:
/// - Retpoline -- A RET-implemented trampoline that lowers indirect calls
/// - LVI Thunk -- A CALL/JMP-implemented thunk that forces load serialization
///   before making an indirect call/jump
///
/// Note that the reason that this is implemented as a MachineFunctionPass and
/// not a ModulePass is that ModulePasses at this point in the LLVM X86 pipeline
/// serialize all transformations, which can consume lots of memory.
///
/// TODO(chandlerc): All of this code could use better comments and
/// documentation.
