These are a mix of SHSTK and IBT errors.  They should be inside
CONFIG_X86_CET using Kees' suggestion.

Also, if you express this as

static const char errors[][10] = {
    [0] = "unknown",
    [1] = "near ret",
    [2] = "far/iret",
    [3] = "endbranch",
    [4] = "rstorssp",
    [5] = "setssbsy",
};

then you can encode all the strings in roughly the space it takes to lay
out the pointers above.

So it's ok to get an unexpected #CP on CET-capable hardware, but not on
CET-incapable hardware?

The conditions for this WARN() (and others) probably want adjusting to
what the kernel has enabled, not what hardware is capable of.

Do some future poor sole a favour and render the numeric error code
too.  Without it, the error is ambiguous between SHSTK and IBT when %rip
points at a call/ret instruction.
