Add a family of ginvt_* functions making it easy to emit a GINVT instruction to globally invalidate TLB entries. We make use of the _ASM_MACRO infrastructure to support emitting the instructions even if the assembler isn't new enough to support them natively. An associated STYPE_GINV definition & sync_ginv() function are added to emit a sync instruction of type 0x14, which operates as a completion barrier for these new GINVT (and GINVI) instructions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
