Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] x86, mwaitt: introduce mwaix delay with a configurable timer
MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value specified in SW
P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same with TSC. The timer provides an
upper bound on how long the instruction waits before exiting.
The implementation of delay function in kernel can lerverage the timer of
MWAITX. This patch provides a new method (delay_mwaitx) to measure delay
time.
