It’s implemented as a BIOS setting where it’s supported.

But the parent comment was suggesting that it be on or off depending on the memory segment, which is a completely different problem.



I don't see "segment" in the earlier post at all.

I think your reading depends on thinking "application" means "process", while another reading would be that an application is a particular deployed system, where this setting can be altered e.g. at the BIOS level.


Sorry yes I did mean application as in a deployed system rather than a specific process.


likewise, I assumed it was a hard system-wide setting and not application specific.
