Don't emulate the branch instructions, e.g., CALL/RET/JMP etc., when CET
is active in guest, return KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION to userspace to
handle it.
KVM doesn't emulate CPU behaviors to check CET protected stuffs while
emulating guest instructions, instead it stops emulation on detecting
the instructions in process are CET protected. By doing so, it can avoid
generating bogus #CP in guest and preventing CET protected execution flow
subversion from guest side.

the name IsProtected doesn't seem clear to me. Its meaning isn't obvious from
the name and may be confused with protected mode. Maybe we can add two flags:
"IndirectBranch" and "ShadowStack".
Hmm, maybe it's worth to distinguish specific instruction protection type against current CET
enabling status. Let me double check.

In SDM, I don't see a list of instructions that are affected by CET. how do you
get the list.
In SDM Vol. 1/17.2 and 17.3, and Vol.2 instruction references on branch instructions.
