> privileged spec

I hope this refers to ring-0-like instructions such as x86 STI, and not some kind of OEM/manufacturer "you can only use this set of instructions if you pay us" type privilege?

Yes, indeed it is about ring-0, hypervisor type stuff.

They're downvoting because the entirety of your comment was a (baseless) worry about the definition of a word that would have taken seconds to check.

It has a section in the wikipedia page, which is right under that PDF in the search results.

Alternatively in the PDF you would only need to look at the "Introduction" section for a minute.
