Add arch_clear_page_uncached_threshold() for a machine specific value
above which clear_page_uncached() would be used.
The ideal threshold value depends on the CPU model and where the
performance curves for cached and uncached stores intersect.
A safe value is LLC-size, so we use that of the boot_cpu.
