Hi, Sean,
Thanks for review! CET_USER and CET_KERNEL are two independent parts of
CET, but CET_KERNEL part has not been fully implemented yet, the final target
is to enable CET_USER + CET_KERNEL in kernel. In the VMM patch, it's supposed
to enable both CET_USER and CET_KERNEL mode at one time, so the patches expose
all the features of CET to guest OS as long as platform and host kernel
support so.
