H. Peter Anvin b6734c35af x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum.  Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 4f30cb0262 x86, 64-bit: PSE no longer a hard requirement
Because Xen doesn't support PSE mappings in guests, all code which
assumed the presence of PSE has been changed to fall back to smaller
mappings if necessary.  As a result, PSE is optional rather than
required (though still used whereever possible).
