And some HP employees had the gall to criticize all the speculation in
comp.os.vms at the same time they were designing Itanium with tons of
speculation in and around it !

Perhaps they should have added an instruction that clears all
speculative bits in all registers, and this could be called before and
after calling any subroutine.
