I don't know much about this particular flaw, but I imagine it'll be pretty hard until someone releases an exploit kit, and then pretty easy after that.

It's an arms race, there will always be new ways of exploiting this flaw in unexpected ways unless speculation is disabled entirely on existing CPUs.
