This is a bit hackish and makes me lean more towards adding support for XFEATURE_MASK_CET_KERNEL in host MSR_IA32_XSS (and then possibly hide it in the actual calls to XSAVE/XRSTORS for non-guest FPU).
Yes, if kernel can support CET_U/S bits in XSS, things would be much easier.
But if CET_S bit cannot be enabled for somehow,  we may have KVM emulation
for it.
