Greg,
I don't know of such a program, but I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to
write such an animal if one wanted to do so. I imagine it's just an
instruction or sequence of instructions that you pass to the CPU to instruct
it to disable this feature. Then as long as the kernel or some other program
doesn't reenable it, it would stay disabled. You'd probably have to write it
in asembly though, as the C functions don't provide access to that.
