4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> commit d8bced79af1db6734f66b42064cc773cada2ce99 upstream. On my Skylake laptop, INVPCID function 2 (flush absolutely everything) takes about 376ns, whereas saving flags, twiddling CR4.PGE to flush global mappings, and restoring flags takes about 539ns.
