Linus Torvalds e24f9c5f6e - Remove superfluous EFI PGD range checks which lead to those assertions failing

with certain kernel configs and LLVM.
 
 - Disable setting breakpoints on facilities involved in #DB exception handling
 to avoid infinite loops.
 
 - Add extra serialization to non-serializing MSRs (IA32_TSC_DEADLINE and
 x2 APIC MSRs) to adhere to SDM's recommendation and avoid any theoretical
 issues.
 
 - Re-add the EPB MSR reading on turbostat so that it works on older
 kernels which don't have the corresponding EPB sysfs file.
 
 - Add Alder Lake to the list of CPUs which support split lock.
 
 - Fix %dr6 register handling in order to be able to set watchpoints with gdb
 again.
 
 - Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel so that gcc doesn't add
 ENDBR64 to kernel code and thus confuse tracing.
