"probe allowed" sounds to me like "we may call probe", but the meaning we
want is "we've already called probe and it succeeded, so the extension
is available" (or that we don't have probe, meaning the extension is
assumed available). I prefer 'available' for extensions over 'enabled',
but we already have 'disabled', so 'enabled' appeared to fit better.
Actually, it's probably best to improve the readability and simplicity,
at the expense of size, by dropping both the extension_enabled and
extension_disabled boolean arrays and switching to an 'extension_status'
enum, where we have SBI_EXT_UNINITIALIZED, SBI_EXT_AVAILABLE, and
SBI_EXT_UNAVAILABLE.

Thanks,
