The expectation here is that if there is a need to do this for some
reason the user can arrange to do this for itself - if something is
happening that makes a normally non-volatile register volatile then 
it probably needs higher level coordination.  What's the use case?

Bypassed what?  I think Andy's naming suggestion was much better.

Please also keep to 80 columns if you can, I know the requirements got
relaxed a bit but no need to do it excessively.
