The concern with doing that for Linux was what would happen if someone
implemented a system with mixed BTI/no BTI support and then a task got
preempted and moved between the two, you might end up with PSTATE.BTYPE
incorrectly set and trigger a spurious fault. That shouldn't be an
issue for EFI runtime services.
