H A Dcpu.h0da0fb06 Thu May 03 22:57:33 CDT 2018 Jingqi Liu <jingqi.liu@intel.com> x86/cpu: Enable CLDEMOTE(Demote Cache Line) cpu feature

The CLDEMOTE instruction hints to hardware that the cache line that
contains the linear address should be moved("demoted") from
the cache(s) closest to the processor core to a level more distant
from the processor core. This may accelerate subsequent accesses
to the line by other cores in the same coherence domain,
especially if the line was written by the core that demotes the line.

Intel Snow Ridge has added new cpu feature, CLDEMOTE.
The new cpu feature needs to be exposed to guest VM.

The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 25] CLDEMOTE
