Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering C3.
The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with
respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in
C3 anyways.
On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes
down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run
of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups.
There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

This removes all the old code that is no longer used after
the i387 unification and cleanup. The i387_64.h is renamed

This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit,
and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place
based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches
32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the
i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the
least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always
include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this
diff smaller and easier to read.

This moves some code into asm-x86/i387_64.h in preparation for
unifying this code between 32 and 64. The 32-bit versions of
some things are copied in some existing names changed to match
32-bit names and share code. For 64, save_i387 is moved into
an inline from i387_64.c; this matches restore_i387, which is
already an inline, and makes sense since there is exactly one
caller (in signal_64.c). The save_i387 function could use more
cosmetic cleanup, but it is just moved verbatim in this patch.

Paravirt guests need to inform the underlying hypervisor whenever the sp0
tss field changes. i386 already has such a function, and we use it for
x86_64 too. There's an unnecessary (for 64-bit) msr handling part in the original
version, and it is placed around an ifdef. Making no more sense in
processor_32.h, it is moved to the common header

Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and
i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is
now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours.
It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct.
