This is a straightforward speedup on Ivy Bridge and newer, IIRC. (I tested on Skylake. INVPCID is not available on Sandy Bridge. I don't have Ivy Bridge, Haswell or Broadwell to test on, so I could be wrong as to when the feature was introduced.) I think we should consider these patches separately from the rest of the PCID stuff -- they barely interact, and this part is much simpler and is useful on its own. This is exactly identical to patches 2-4 of the PCID RFC series.
