Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86-32: Rework cache flush denied handler

The cache flush denied error is an erratum on some AMD 486 clones.  If an invd
instruction is executed in userspace, the processor calls exception 19 (13 hex)
instead of #GP (13 decimal).  On cpus where XMM is not supported, redirect
exception 19 to do_general_protection().  Also, remove die_if_kernel(), since
this was the last user.
