@mgorny Does FreeBSD do anything with the top byte ignore feature?

----------------
I think it was fine where it was, my point was just to check whether FreeBSD enables TBI at all.

Seems like it should be an OS level query. 99% of the time we'd be fine assuming it's enabled but I don't like the idea of pretending that it is and giving a false impression.

Unless assuming TBI is safe just because the hardware registers don't hold those bits anyway. In which case the comment should justify that.
