On i386, CS and DS prefix bytes have no meaning but are valid for conditional jump instructions and are then used by some CPU's to provide hints to branch predictor. As an example of another (arguably more sane) architecture, on Alpha, all branch instructions (including non-conditional ones) have bits reserved in their encoding for hints to branch predictor. |
