You could maybe do it with lots of fences or just a ridiculous chain of NOPs after each branch such that the ROB is cleared before you have time to try to load a pointer speculatively.

In practice, both of these would probably kill performance, so I don't think either of these are great solutions. Recall we are targeting the kernel where everything needs to be as fast as possible.
