Check potential faults for CR4.CET setting per Intel SDM.
CR4.CET is the master control bit for CET features (SHSTK and IBT).
In addition to basic support checks,
To me, this implies some checks against CR4.CET when enabling SHSTK or
IBT. but the checks are not added by this patch. Then, why bother to
mention this?

OK, I'll remove these unnecessary words and change the commit logs.


CET can be enabled if and only
if CR0.WP==1, i.e. setting CR4.CET=1 faults if CR0.WP==0 and setting
CR0.WP=0 fails if CR4.CET==1.
