tools/objtool: Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel
The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next. Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction which does not access the PASID_MSR. Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its usage.
