I would be very surprised if you could demonstrate the existence of any modifiable software running on the internal processors of the inverters and the AND gates that has not been made freely available under extremely permissive licence.
I'd be surprised if you could demonstrate the same thing for embedded devices not designed to be modified or updated by users -- no matter their complexity.

I was personally very upset when Motorola refused to provide me a software update for a device, designed for both long-term and short-term use!
It was an SN74LS139N Motorola Dual Decoder 2-4 Line Plastic TTL chip.
How dare they deny me software updates for this chip containing two inverters and four AND gates!
I don't give a damn that they designed it for embedded use, I should be able to update the software running on it!
Right?

Just don't put processes in intersecting address spaces; we already slide them arounbd with ASLR; adding negaffinity is not that hard a modification.
No TLB intersections, no issues.
Yes, performance will be reduced due to not having any page sharing whatsoever.
Alternate fix: stop using hypervisors.
