7e00df5818 x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum.  Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

77ef50a522 x86: consolidate header guards
This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.

4f30cb0262 x86, 64-bit: PSE no longer a hard requirement
Because Xen doesn't support PSE mappings in guests, all code which
assumed the presence of PSE has been changed to fall back to smaller
mappings if necessary.  As a result, PSE is optional rather than
required (though still used whereever possible).

f8096f92b8 x86: separate cmpxchg8b checking from PAE checking
.. allowing the former to be use in non-PAE kernels, too.
