It'd probably be better to add an accessor to expose umwait_control_cached
given that umwait.c is using {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() and there shouldn't be a
need to write it outside of umwait.c.

The SDM only defines bits 31:0, and the kernel uses a u32 to cache its
value. I assume bits 63:32 are reserved? I'm guessing we also need an
SDM update...
