I think it may be fixable by just stalling speculative loads not already in L1 which should have low impact. But not 100% sure that's sufficient.

I think we're going to see a much greater shift toward secure enclaves/TPM/HSM etc. CPUs essentially outsourcing security operations to smaller purpose specific processors. The speed vs security tradeoff has been around for awhile this just sharpens it.
