    x86/build: Unilaterally disable -fcf-protection
    
    Xen doesn't support CET-IBT yet.  At a minimum, logic is required to enable 
it
    for supervisor use, but the livepatch functionality needs to learn not to
    overwrite ENDBR64 instructions.
    
    Furthermore, Ubuntu enables -fcf-protection by default, along with a buggy
    version of GCC-9 which objects to it in combination with
    -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern (Fixed in GCC 10, 9.4).
    
    Various objects (Xen boot path, Rombios 32 stubs) require .text to be at the
    beginning of the object.  These paths explode when .note.gnu.properties gets
    put ahead of .text and we end up executing the notes data.
    
    Disable -fcf-protection for all embedded objects.
