Setting aside that we still need to measure the impact of these
changes the end result will still be nospec_array_ptr() sprinkled in
various locations. So can we save the debate about what's inside that
macro on various architectures and at least proceed with annotating
the problematic locations? Perhaps we can go a step further and have a
config option to switch between the clever array_access() approach
from Linus that might be fine depending on the compiler, and the
cpu-vendor-recommended not to speculate implementation of
nospec_array_ptr().
