The current alternatives algorithm clears CR0.WP and writes into .text. This has a side effect of the mappings becoming shadow stacks once CET is active. Adjust _alternative_instructions() to clean up after itself. This involves extending the set of bits modify_xen_mappings() to include Dirty (and Accessed for good measure).
