Can you have IBT enabled but not shadow stack via kernel parameters?
Outside this diff it has:
if (!cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK))
	return -ENOTSUPP;

So if "no_user_shstk" is set, this can't be used for IBT. But the
kernel would attempt to enable IBT.

Also if so, the CR4 bit enabling logic needs adjusting in this IBT
series. If not, we should probably mention this in the docs and enforce
it. It would then follow the logic in Kconfig, so maybe the simplest.
Like maybe instead of no_user_shstk, just no_user_cet?
