This double negation does not read well, and not in line with other mitigation flags like `IntelJccErratumMitigation`.

I disagree. This name is exactly what is intended - we disable a mitigation/workaround. It's name is consistent with previous flags of this kind DisableXXXWorkAround IIRC.

I also don't see a "double negation" here - naming a flag DisableX is not in itself double-negation.
