Shadow Stack provides protection against function return address
corruption.  It is active when the processor supports it, the kernel has
CONFIG_X86_CET_USER enabled, and the application is built for the feature.
This is only implemented for the 64-bit kernel.  When it is enabled, legacy
non-Shadow Stack applications continue to work, but without protection.

That thing needs to be X86_CET. How many times do I need to type this
before you do it?

Yes, I totally understand that now.  I was still thinking about 
separately enabling user/kernel mode.  Perhaps I should have 
communicated that thought before the change.  Sorry about that.  I will 
update it.
