applied both fixes to tip/x86/cpu, thanks Thomas.
I also flipped it around with the cpu-id reduction patch, so that it
remains bisectable. The new commit IDs in -tip are:
8bfcb39: x86: make movsl_mask definition non-CPU specific
774400a: x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place
8d02c21: x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code
