I'll double check that I didn't misunderstand the situation and that it
has not changed on processors with shadow stacks.

But, as far as spurious faults, wouldn't it just be a fault because
we've transiently gone to Present=0? We already do that when clearing
the Dirty bit, so I'm not sure that's new. We surely already handle
that one.
