Linus Torvalds 64f8e73de0 Support for enhanced split lock detection: 
Newer CPUs provide a second mechanism to detect operations with lock
   prefix which go accross a cache line boundary. Such operations have to
   take bus lock which causes a system wide performance degradation when
   these operations happen frequently.
 
   The new mechanism is not using the #AC exception. It triggers #DB and is
   restricted to operations in user space. Kernel side split lock access can
   only be detected by the #AC based variant. Contrary to the #AC based
   mechanism the #DB based variant triggers _after_ the instruction was
   executed. The mechanism is CPUID enumerated and contrary to the #AC
   version which is based on the magic TEST_CTRL_MSR and model/family based
   enumeration on the way to become architectural.
