in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

 659567 system_call                              41222.9375
 686796 schedule                                 435.7843
 718382 __switch_to                              665.1685
 823875 switch_mm                                4526.7857
 1883122 native_read_tsc                          55385.9412
 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.

Impact: bogus error codes (+other?) on x86-64

The rdmsr_safe/wrmsr_safe routines have macros for the handling of the
edx:eax arguments.  Those macros take a variable number of assembly
arguments.  This is rather inherently incompatible with using
%digit-style escapes in the inline assembly; replace those with
%[name]-style escapes.

This fixes miscompilation on x86-64, which at the very least caused
bogus return values.  It is possible that this could also corrupt the
return value; I am not sure.

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.

wrmsr is a special instruction which can have arbitrary system-wide
effects.  We don't want the compiler to reorder it with respect to
memory operations, so make it a memory barrier.

This patch uses the _ASM_ALIGN and _ASM_PTR macros
to make the fixups in native_read/write_msr_safe look the same
for x86_64 and i386. Besides using this macros, we also have to
take the explicit instruction suffixes out. It's okay
because all this instructions uses registers, and can be sized by
them.

This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface
to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value.
The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit
value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386,
the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and use low/high parameters
It would force the x86_64 version to be different.

The change does not make i386 generated code less efficient. As said above,
it would get the values from two registers anyway.
