Urgh... so much for sharing with other architectures I suppose :/

The ARM64 BTI thing is very similar to IBT (except I think their
approach to the legacy bitmap is much saner).

Given that IBT isn't supported and needs the whole legacy bitmap mess,
do we really want to call this CET ? Why not just make a Shadow Stack
API and tackle IBT independently.
