BTW, I've successfully tested this on what /proc/cpuinfo calls an "11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz" (in a Lenovo "Yoga 7 15ITL5"). Normal laptop-y things all seem happy and it correctly blows up on a new LKDTM test I'll send out tomorrow.

One thought: should there be a note in dmesg about it being active? The only way to see it is finding "ibt" in cpuinfo...
