Is this true? We should be able to *emulate* the instruction anywhere,
it's the "hardware execution" setting that needs CPU support.

I think it would be cleaner to have a wrapper for the on_each_cpu
variant of this, otherwise we lose the type information altogether.

Could we restrict the emulation options instead and just disable hardware
support for the instruction?

Will
