From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>

Add support for the new clflushopt instruction.  This instruction was
announced in the document "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
Programming Reference" with Ref # 319433-018.

[ hpa: changed the feature flag to simply X86_FEATURE_CLFLUSHOPT - if
  that is what we want to report in /proc/cpuinfo anyway... ]
