to "CET" (which is a well-known acronym for "Central European Time"),
not to CFE?
I don't know if I can change that, will find out.
So what I'd suggest is something pretty simple: to use CFT/cft in kernel internal 
names, except for the Intel feature bit and any MSR enumeration which can be CET 
if Intel named it that way, and a short comment explaining the acronym difference.

Or something like that.
Actually, I don't think CFT is much better -- there's limited number
of TLAs (*). "ENFORCE_FLOW"? "FLOWE"? "EFLOW"?
Erm, I wanted to say 'CFE', i.e. the abbreviation of 'Control Flow Enforcement'.

But I guess I can live with CET as well ...
Yeah, and I am trying to say that perhaps we should use something
longer than three letters. It will make code longer but easier to
read.
