The mythical MMIX hardware engineers have wisely understood the
need to automatically disable speculation when a speculated
execution path transitions to kernel mode.  There might be
mythical talk about using a bit in a configuration register to
enable even that, but that's just speculation and some say
allowing speculation over such mode transitions would be
unresponsible and bad engineering.

	PR target/86794
	* config/mmix/mmix.c (TARGET_HAVE_SPECULATION_SAFE_VALUE): Redefine
	to speculation_safe_value_not_needed.
