These patches enable Intel Xeon Phi x200 feature to use MONITOR/MWAIT
instruction in ring 3 (userspace) Patches set MSR 0x140 for all logical CPUs.
Then expose it as CPU feature and introduces elf HWCAP capability for x86.

Grzegorz Andrejczuk (4):
  Add R3MWAIT register and bit to msr-info.h
  Add enabling of the R3 MWAIT during boot for KNL
  Add hwcap2 for x86
  Add R3MWAIT to CPU features
