Hi!

quoted

+config X86_INTEL_BRANCH_TRACKING_USER
+    prompt "Intel Indirect Branch Tracking for user-mode" 

Take the "Intel " and "INTEL_" out, please.  It will only cause us all
pain later if some of our x86 compatriots decide to implement this.

Are other x86 manufacturers legally allowed to implement that?

If the kernel is to be used only on older systems that do not support
IBT, and the size of the binary is important, you can save 900 KB by
disabling this feature.

Otherwise, if unsure, say Y.

900k seems like a *lot*.  Where the heck does that come from?

Also, comments like that don't age very well.  Consider:

	Support for this feature is only known to be present on Intel
	processors released in 2020 or later.  This feature is also
	known to increase kernel text size substantially.

	If unsure, say N.

That is much better, thanks.
