Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/KVM/VMX: Introduce and use try_cmpxchg64()

This patch series introduces try_cmpxchg64() atomic locking function.

try_cmpxchg64() provides the same interface for 64 bit and 32 bit targets,
emits CMPXCHGQ for 64 bit targets and CMPXCHG8B for 32 bit targets,
and provides appropriate fallbacks when CMPXCHG8B is unavailable.

try_cmpxchg64() reuses flags from CMPXCHGQ/CMPXCHG8B instructions and
avoids unneeded CMP for 64 bit targets or XOR/XOR/OR sequence for
32 bit targets.
