Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/msr: Define new bits in TSX_FORCE_ABORT MSR

Intel client processors that support IA32_TSX_FORCE_ABORT MSR related to
perf counter interaction [1] received a microcode update that deprecates
Transactional Synchronization Extension (TSX) feature. MSR
IA32_TSX_FORCE_ABORT bit FORCE_ABORT_RTM now defaults to 1, writes to
this bit are ignored. A new bit TSX_CPUID_CLEAR clears the TSX related
CPUID bits.

Below is the summary of changes to IA32_TSX_FORCE_ABORT MSR:

  Bit 0: FORCE_ABORT_RTM (legacy bit, new default=1) Status bit that
  indicates if RTM transactions are always aborted. This bit is
  essentially !SDV_ENABLE_RTM(Bit 2). Writes to this bit are ignored.

  Bit 1: TSX_CPUID_CLEAR (new bit, default=0) When set, CPUID.HLE = 0
  and CPUID.RTM = 0.

  Bit 2: SDV_ENABLE_RTM (new bit, default=0) When clear, XBEGIN will
  always abort with EAX code 0. When set, XBEGIN will not be forced to
  abort (but will always abort in SGX enclaves). This bit is intended to
  be SDV-only. If this bit is set transactional atomicity correctness is
  not certain.

Performance monitoring counter 3 is usable in all cases, regardless of
the value of above bits.

A new CPUID bit CPUID.RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT (CPUID 7.EDX[11]) is added to
indicate the status of always abort behavior.

Define these new CPUID and MSR bits.
