It is not about what it means - it is what you're going to use/need. You have
ifdeffery both with X86_CET and X86_SHADOW_STACK_USER.

This one

+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK_USER
+#define DISABLE_SHSTK	0
+#else
+#define DISABLE_SHSTK	(1 << (X86_FEATURE_SHSTK & 31))
+#endif

for example, is clearly wrong and wants to be #ifdef CONFIG_X86_CET, for
example. Unless I'm missing something totally obvious.

In any case, you need to analyze what Kconfig defines the code will
need and to what they belong and add only the minimal subset needed.
Our Kconfig symbols space is already nuts so adding more needs to be
absolutely justified.

Thx.
