Intel TSX suspend load tracking instructions aim to give a way to
choose which memory accesses do not need to be tracked in the TSX
read set. Add TSX suspend load tracking CPUID feature flag TSXLDTRK
for enumeration.
A processor supports Intel TSX suspend load address tracking if
CPUID.0x07.0x0:EDX[16] is present. Two instructions XSUSLDTRK, XRESLDTRK
are available when this feature is present.
The CPU feature flag is shown as "tsxldtrk" in /proc/cpuinfo.
Detailed information on the instructions and CPUID feature flag TSXLDTRK
can be found in the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference and Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual.

No tabs?
:(
Sorry, it's my fault. I wrongly pick up an older kernel patch version,
the latest one has no such issue. It will be addressed in next version.
