Maybe in web or application software. In hardware, it all runs in parallel. The mechanism of something like SAFE becomes another component receiving input in the CPU pipeline. A conditional of sorts is added so the final write back to whatever memory doesn't happen unless the safety/security checks passed. The failure mode might also do an interrupt for OS so it could log the where and why of the failure. As in, application flaws could be patched quickly.
