That should already offer some improvements and enables the CR4 bit - but doesn't actually use the PCID hardware yet. I'll push it all out when it passes testing. If it's all super stable I plan to tempt Linus with a late merge window pull request for all these preparatory patches. (Unless he objects that is. Hint, hint.) Any objections?
