Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cpu handling changes from Ingo Molnar: "Bigger changes: - Intel CPU hardware-enablement: new vector instructions support (AVX-512), by Fenghua Yu. - Support the clflushopt instruction and use it in appropriate places. clflushopt is similar to clflush but with more relaxed ordering, by Ross Zwisler. - MSR accessor cleanups, by Borislav Petkov. - 'forcepae' boot flag for those who have way too much time to spend on way too old Pentium-M systems and want to live way too dangerously, by Chris Bainbridge" * 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, cpu: Add forcepae parameter for booting PAE kernels on PAE-disabled Pentium M Rename TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP to TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC x86, intel: Make MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE bit constants systematic x86, Intel: Convert to the new bit access MSR accessors x86, AMD: Convert to the new bit access MSR accessors x86: Add another set of MSR accessor functions x86: Use clflushopt in drm_clflush_virt_range x86: Use clflushopt in drm_clflush_page x86: Use clflushopt in clflush_cache_range x86: Add support for the clflushopt instruction x86, AVX-512: Enable AVX-512 States Context Switch x86, AVX-512: AVX-512 Feature Detection
