Why is this tied to XFEATURE_MASK_CET_KERNEL? I don't know how the SVM
side works, but the host kernel doesn't use this xfeature. Just not
clear on what the intention is. Why not use
kvm_cet_kernel_shstk_supported() again?

I don't know how SVM supports supervisor SHSTK either, here just follows the spec.

to add the dependency check. Maybe you're right, I need to use kvm_cet_kernel_shstk_supported()

in my patch set and leave the work to SVM enabling patches. I'll change it, thanks!
