Subject[RFC PATCH 2/8] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate MOVDIR64B instruction
Date
MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity.
Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing
data directly into memory without caching the data.

Availability of the MOVDIR64B instruction is indicated by the
presence of the CPUID feature flag MOVDIR64B (CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 28]).

Please check the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference for more details on the CPUID
feature MOVDIR64B flag.
