I'm all for simplifying this code and also for removing any WBINVDs that
we possibly can. But it also makes me a wee bit nervous that this could
have been hiding any _new_ issues (like the Broadwell one) had they
crept in.

I'm tentatively in favor of this, but it's definitely the kind of thing
we want to apply early and get maximum testing on.

I'd also appreciate an ack from Ashok on this one.
