Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/cpufeatures: Add WBNOINVD cpufeature

CPUID.0x80000008:EBX[9] indicates whether CPU supports WBNOINVD
instruction.

The WBNOINVD instruction writes back all modified cache lines in the
processor’s internal cache to main memory and does not invalidate
(flush) the internal caches.
