The mythical MMIX hardware engineers have wisely understood the
need to automatically disable speculation when a speculated
execution path transitions to kernel mode. There might be
mythical talk about using a bit in a configuration register to
enable even that, but that's just speculation and some say
allowing speculation over such mode transitions would be
unresponsible and bad engineering.
