Same objection I always had[1]: moving the check into the destination
means attacks with control over executable memory contents can just omit
the check.
But now that I went to go look I see 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot
time hash randomization") is only enabled under FINEIBT... seems better
if that were always enabled...
