Yeah on context switch the SSE registers are stored in memory, so this doesn’t help for security.

That's why I said it's tricky to deal with interrupts, but possible if the effort is worth it to the use case. One could run the code in a kernel module which masked interrupts or use restartable sequences and cleared sse in the kernel when in certain code sections.
