    Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
     "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
      which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
      Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
      target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.
    
      Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
      is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
      not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
      sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].
    
      CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
      as described above, speculation limits itself"
