You'll note that this should be 30 really, because the lower *2* bits are
taken by the context state (CONTEXT_GUEST has a value of 3).

This highlights the fragile part of this: the Kconfig values are hardcoded,
but they depend on CT_STATE_SIZE, CONTEXT_MASK and CONTEXT_WORK_MAX. The
static_assert() will at least capture any misconfiguration, but having that
enforced by the actual Kconfig ranges would be less awkward.

Do we currently have a way of e.g. making a Kconfig file depend on and use
values generated by a C header?
