ce4e240c27 x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb paths
Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers

Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.

x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.

Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

dac5f4121d x86, apic: untangle the send_IPI_*() jungle
Our send_IPI_*() methods and definitions are a twisted mess: the same
symbol is defined to different things depending on .config details,
in a non-transparent way.

 - spread out the quirks into separately named per apic driver methods

 - prefix the standard PC methods with default_

 - get rid of wrapper macro obfuscation

 - clean up various details

55f4949f57 x86, mm: move tlb.c to arch/x86/mm/
Impact: cleanup

Now that it's unified, move the (SMP) TLB flushing code from arch/x86/kernel/
to arch/x86/mm/, where it belongs logically.
