So we're still back at stalling the pipeline with result delays on older
CPUs?

This at least is better.

But this isn't - this involves two delays.

This separation of setting and saving the TLS value is actually quite
silly.  They're called from the same place, so lets just call it
"switch_tls" instead.

Here's just the assembly bits doing that - this is totally untested
of course:
