This patch provides the infrastructure for performing a 16-byte aligned
read from WC (or even uncached) memory using non-temporal instructions
introduced with sse4.1. Using movntdqa we can bypass the CPU caches and
read directly from memory and ignoring the page attributes set on the
CPU PTE i.e. negating the impact of an otherwise UC access, copying
using movntqda from WC is almost as fast as reading from WB memory,
modulo the possibility of both hitting the CPU cache or leaving the data
in the CPU cache for the next consumer.
This will be used in later patches to accelerate accessing WC memory.
