For easy boot-output testing, I'd love to see something like:

	} else {
		pr_info("CET detected: Indirect Branch Tracking enabled.\n")
	}

or maybe:
		pr_info("CET detected: Indirect Branch Tracking is %s.\n",
			ibt_fatal ? "enforced" : "warning only");

I did something like this for LKDTM, but I realize it depends on having no
frame pointer, and is likely x86-specific too, as I think arm64's function
preamble is responsible for pushing the return address on the stack:


static volatile int lkdtm_just_count;

/* Function taking one argument, returning int. */
static noinline void *lkdtm_just_return(void)
{
	/* Do something after preamble but before label. */
	lkdtm_just_count++;

yolo:
	{
		void *right_here = &&yolo;

		OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(right_here);
		return right_here;
	}
}
/*
 * This tries to call an indirect function in the middle.
 */
void lkdtm_CFI_FORWARD_ENTRY(void)
{
	/*
	 * Matches lkdtm_increment_void()'s prototype, but not
	 * lkdtm_increment_int()'s prototype.
	 */
	void * (*func)(void);

	func = lkdtm_just_return;
	pr_info("Calling actual function entry point %px ...\n", func);
	func = func();

	pr_info("Calling middle of function %px ...\n", func);
	func = func();

	pr_err("FAIL: survived non-entry point call!\n");
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
	pr_expected_config(CONFIG_X86_BTI);
#endif
}
