This is a bug fixing. So it needs go into 4.1.
x86: add volatile prefix for cpuid asm clauses
cpuid results are possible to be changed now. For example, changing CR4.OSXSAVE
bit or setting MSR XCR_XFEATURE_ENABLED_MASK may change XSAVE related cpuid
leave return values.
The volatile prefix is required to avoid the second cpuid calls following some
possible changing operations being optimized in incorrect way by compiler.
The sample bug is in xsave_init while debug=n. The second call to cpuid_count()
may be optimized and lead to a BUG_ON case while compare xsave_cntxt_size with
ebx.
