[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] x86/cpu: Enable a few new cpu features

[Jingqi Liu <jingqi.liu@intel.com>]

Enable a few new cpu features including UMONITOR, UMWAIT, TPAUSE,
MOVDIRI and MOVDIR64B.

UMONITOR, UMWAIT, and TPAUSE are a set of user wait instructions.
MOVDIRI moves doubleword or quadword from register to memory through
direct store.
MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity.

The bits definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 05] WAITPKG
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 27] MOVDIRI
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 28] MOVDIR64B
