Some mangling may be required depending on platform/arch.

Gory details of Chipzilla - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html

There it is....

Waits for the realization to sink in that it's not just Intel x86 that's affected.

It's every architecture that does speculative branch prediction.
