To allow userspace to enable this feature for itself, following prtcls are
defined:
 - PR_GET_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Gets current configured status for indirect branch
   tracking.
 - PR_SET_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Sets a configuration for indirect branch tracking
   Following status options are allowed
           - PR_INDIR_BR_LP_ENABLE: Enables indirect branch tracking on user
             thread.
           - PR_INDIR_BR_LP_DISABLE; Disables indirect branch tracking on user
             thread.
 - PR_LOCK_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Locks configured status for indirect branch
   tracking for user thread.

FWIW the arm64 BTI feature is enabled per page of executable memory
rather than in CPU state so it'd be hard for us to adopt this interface.
I don't think that's a blocker, just noting it.

Got it, makes sense.
