[PATCH v2 1/4] x86, mwaitt: add monitorx and mwaitx instruction

[Huang Rui]

On AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Model 60h-6fh), there is a new
feature called MWAITT (Mwait with a timer) as an extension of
Monitor/Mwait.

MWAITT, another name is MWAITX (MWAIT with extensions), has a configurable
timer that causes MWAITX to exit on expiration.

Compared with MONITOR/MWAIT, there are minor differences in opcode and
input parameters.

MWAITX ECX[1]: enable timer if set
MWAITX EBX[31:0]: max wait time expressed in SW P0 clocks

The software P0 frequency is the same as the TSC frequency.

Max timeout = EBX/(TSC frequency)
