You can laugh as much as you like, and no need to reply, I know how
absurd this would be ...

  | I think such applications are likely to be inherently problematic.  If

  | AVX512 instruction operating on a 512-bit ZMM vector register traps,

And if you were doing software emulation of the AVX512 instructions,
wouldn't the trap handler need to be able to access the (emulated)
registers ?
