So I'd love it if we can get rid of that HAS_KERNEL_IBT thing and use
the usual ifdeffery with Kconfig symbols. I wouldn't like for yet
another HAS_XXX feature checking method to proliferate as this is the
only one:

$ git grep -E "\WHAS_" arch/x86/
arch/x86/include/asm/ibt.h:18: * When all the above are satisfied, HAS_KERNEL_IBT will be 1, otherwise 0.
arch/x86/include/asm/ibt.h:22:#define HAS_KERNEL_IBT 1
arch/x86/include/asm/ibt.h:92:#define HAS_KERNEL_IBT 0
arch/x86/include/asm/ibt.h:114:#define ENDBR_INSN_SIZE (4*HAS_KERNEL_IBT)
arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:8:#define IDT_ALIGN (8 * (1 + HAS_KERNEL_IBT))
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:601: bool kernel_ibt = HAS_KERNEL_IBT && cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_IBT);
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1942: if (HAS_KERNEL_IBT && cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_IBT))

Stray newline.
