Description
The Zkt extension is complied with where a certain subset of instructions have guaranteed data independent latency. Ibex can likely meet this. We should review the requirements in detail and declare compliance.

Research direction
Review the Zkt extension requirements in detail, then assess whether Ibex's relevant scalar cryptographic instructions provide guaranteed data-independent execution latency. Done means documenting the assessment and either declaring compliance or recording the gaps that prevent it.
