Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] lib/list_batch, x86: Enable list insertion/deletion batching for x86

System with a large number of CPUs will benefit from the list batching
facility when the list lock is contended. If the lock isn't contended,
the performance of the list batching function should be similar to the
"lock; listop; unlock;" sequence that it replaces.

This patch enables it for the x86 architecture.
