[RFC PATCH v4 1/9] x86/cet/ibt: Add Kconfig option for user-mode Indirect Branch Tracking

[Yu-cheng Yu]

The user-mode indirect branch tracking support is done mostly by
GCC to insert ENDBR64/ENDBR32 instructions at branch targets.
The kernel provides CPUID enumeration, feature MSR setup and
the allocation of legacy bitmap.
