Here are the changes if we take the mprotect(PROT_SHSTK) approach.
Any comments/suggestions?
I still don't like it. :)
I'll also be much happier when there's a proper changelog to accompany
this which also spells out the alternatives any why they suck so much.

I revised it. If this turns out needing more work/discussion, we can split it
out from the shadow stack series.
Where does that leave things? You only get shadow stacks for
single-threaded apps which have the ELF bits set?
As long as the system supports shadow stack, any application can
mmap()/mprotect() a shadow stack. A pthread can allocate a shadow stack
too. However, only shadow stack-enabled programs can activate/use the
shadow stack.
