ed53a0d971 x86/alternative: Use .ibt_endbr_seal to seal indirect calls 
Objtool's --ibt option generates .ibt_endbr_seal which lists
superfluous ENDBR instructions. That is those instructions for which
the function is never indirectly called.

Overwrite these ENDBR instructions with a NOP4 such that these
function can never be indirect called, reducing the number of viable
ENDBR targets in the kernel.

156ff4a544 x86/ibt: Base IBT bits 
Add Kconfig, Makefile and basic instruction support for x86 IBT.

(Ab)use __DISABLE_EXPORTS to disable IBT since it's already employed
to mark compressed and purgatory. Additionally mark realmode with it
as well to avoid inserting ENDBR instructions there. While ENDBR is
technically a NOP, inserting them was causing some grief due to code
growth. There's also a problem with using __noendbr in code compiled
without -fcf-protection=branch.
