Shadow stack is supported on newer AMD processors, but the kernel implementation has not been tested on them. Prevent basic issues from showing up for normal users by disabling shadow stack on all CPUs except Intel until it has been tested. At which point the limitation should be removed.

Yes, that's enough. I _thought_ the AMD folks provided some tested-by's at some point in the past. But, maybe I'm confusing this for one of the other shared features. Either way, I'm sure no tested-by's were dropped on purpose. I'm sure Rick is eager to trim down his series and this would be a great patch to drop. Does anyone want to make that easy for Rick? <hint> <hint>
