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"
