Yes, with the whole meltdown fiasco, there's actually more pressure to
add more support for separation of kernel/user address spaces. As Andy
pointed out, it's been discussed as a future wish-list for x86-64 too.
But yeah, right now the *common* architectures all distinguish kernel
and user space by pointers (ie x86-64, arm64 and powerpc).
