[PATCH v2 RESEND] x86: optimize memcpy_flushcache

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>]

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: optimize memcpy_flushcache

In the context of constant short length stores to persistent memory,
memcpy_flushcache suffers from a 2% performance degradation compared to
explicitly using the "movnti" instruction.

Optimize 4, 8, and 16 byte memcpy_flushcache calls to explicitly use the
movnti instruction with inline assembler.
