H. Peter Anvin ea53069231 x86, hotplug: Use mwait to offline a processor, fix the legacy case
The code in native_play_dead() has a number of problems:

1. We should use MWAIT when available, to put ourselves into a deeper
   sleep state.
2. We use the existence of CLFLUSH to determine if WBINVD is safe, but
   that is totally bogus -- WBINVD is 486+, whereas CLFLUSH is a much
   later addition.
3. We should do WBINVD inside the loop, just in case of something like
   setting an A bit on page tables.  Pointed out by Arjan van de Ven.

This code is based in part of a previous patch by Venki Pallipadi, but
unlike that patch this one keeps all the detection code local instead
of pre-caching a bunch of information.  We're shutting down the CPU;
there is absolutely no hurry.

This patch moves all the code to C and deletes the global
wbinvd_halt() which is broken anyway.
