Ohh, right, I completely forgot about that, but that actually does
happen. We had trouble with AMD doing just that only about a year ago or

CPUs are completely free to speculatively load TLB entries for pages
they never actually end up touching (typically prefetcher based), as
long as there's valid page-tables for them at the time.

So yes, you're right.
