x86/asm: Add support for the CLWB instruction

Add support for the new CLWB (cache line write back)
instruction.  This instruction was announced in the document
"Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming
Reference" with reference number 319433-022.

The CLWB instruction is used to write back the contents of
dirtied cache lines to memory without evicting the cache lines
from the processor's cache hierarchy.  This should be used in
favor of clflushopt or clflush in cases where you require the
cache line to be written to memory but plan to access the data
again in the near future.

One of the main use cases for this is with persistent memory
where CLWB can be used with PCOMMIT to ensure that data has been
accepted to memory and is durable on the DIMM.

This function shows how to properly use CLWB/CLFLUSHOPT/CLFLUSH
and PCOMMIT with appropriate fencing:

void flush_and_commit_buffer(void *vaddr, unsigned int size)
{
	void *vend = vaddr + size - 1;

	for (; vaddr < vend; vaddr += boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size)
		clwb(vaddr);

	/* Flush any possible final partial cacheline */
	clwb(vend);

	/*
	 * Use SFENCE to order CLWB/CLFLUSHOPT/CLFLUSH cache flushes.
	 * (MFENCE via mb() also works)
	 */
	wmb();

	/* PCOMMIT and the required SFENCE for ordering */
	pcommit_sfence();
}

After this function completes the data pointed to by vaddr is
has been accepted to memory and will be durable if the vaddr
points to persistent memory.

Regarding the details of how the alternatives assembly is set
up, we need one additional byte at the beginning of the CLFLUSH
so that we can flip it into a CLFLUSHOPT by changing that byte
into a 0x66 prefix.  Two options are to either insert a 1 byte
ASM_NOP1, or to add a 1 byte NOP_DS_PREFIX.  Both have no
functional effect with the plain CLFLUSH, but I've been told
that executing a CLFLUSH + prefix should be faster than
executing a CLFLUSH + NOP.

We had to hard code the assembly for CLWB because, lacking the
ability to assemble the CLWB instruction itself, the next
closest thing is to have an xsaveopt instruction with a 0x66
prefix.  Unfortunately XSAVEOPT itself is also relatively new,
and isn't included by all the GCC versions that the kernel needs
to support.
