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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
