The last two (maybe three) attempts at jitter did precisely this (the 
flag was called by exactly that name).  It was less important for the 
primitives than it was for internal mechanisms (such as flushing a 
volatile context into the heap during return, which is a real pain if 
you have to keep every single pointer remappable over every context 
allocation when flushing).
