As the title says,
there is this new flag which one can activate but what does it do and should I enable it?

Thanks!
 
the pve-docs package has not yet been bumped and pushed to the repositories, but contains some information:

if you have a guest that uses IBRS/IBPB CPU features (e.g., patched Windows, RHEL, SLES) AND a CPU which got support for it via a microcode/BIOS update (on all nodes where you want to potentially run this guest), you can pass through the support to the guest kernel so that it can use the feature.
