Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm: Force native_apic_mem_read to use mov

Previously, when compiled with clang, native_apic_mem_read gets inlined
into __xapic_wait_icr_idle and optimized to a testl instruction. When
run in a VM with SEV-ES enabled, it attempts to emulate this
instruction, but the emulator does not support it. Instead, use inline
assembly to force native_apic_mem_read to use the mov instruction which
is supported by the emulator.
