So something I learnt the hard way with shstk is that you really want to
disable S_CET before heading into purgatory.

I've got no idea what's going to result from UEFI finally getting CET
support.  However, clearing out the other IBT settings is probably a
wise move.

In particular, if there was a stale legacy bitmap pointer, then
ibt_selftest() could take #PF ahead of #CP.
