x86/delay: Introduce TPAUSE delay
TPAUSE instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent optimized state. The instruction execution wakes up when the time-stamp counter reaches or exceeds the implicit EDX:EAX 64-bit input value. The instruction execution also wakes up due to the expiration of the operating system time-limit or by an external interrupt or exceptions such as a debug exception or a machine check exception. TPAUSE offers a choice of two lower power states: 1. Light-weight power/performance optimized state C0.1 2. Improved power/performance optimized state C0.2 This way, it can save power with low wake-up latency in comparison to spinloop based delay. The selection between the two is governed by the input register. TPAUSE is available on processors with X86_FEATURE_WAITPKG.
