Add support for the new pcommit instruction.  This instruction was
announced in the document "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
Programming Reference" with reference number 319433-022.

Should this patch add the feature bit and cpuinfo entry to go with it?

I think this patch does everything we need?  The text for cpuinfo is
auto-generated in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c from the flags defined
in arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h, I think.  Here's what I get in
cpuinfo on my system with a faked-out CPUID saying that clwb and pcommit
are present:

$ grep 'flags' /proc/cpuinfo 
flags		: fpu <snip> erms pcommit clflushopt clwb xsaveopt

The X86_FEATURE_CLWB and X86_FEATURE_PCOMMIT flags are being set up
according to what's in CPUID, and the proper alternatives are being
triggered.  I stuck some debug code in the alternatives code to see what
was being patched in the presence and absence of each of the flags.

Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks,
- Ross

No.  I just missed the magical auto-generation part.
