These predicates default to "don't speculate" so the point here is
what conditions should override the default; and phrasing those as
positive statements would be easier to read than double-negatives.
Maybe something like:
// Speculate cttz only if we can directly use TZCNT.
and similar for ctlz.
Thanks,
