x86, mem: clear_page_64.S: Support clear_page() with enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB
Intel processors are adding enhancements to REP MOVSB/STOSB and the use of
REP MOVSB/STOSB for optimal memcpy/memset or similar functions is recommended.
Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/
STOSB).
Support clear_page() with rep stosb for processor supporting enhanced REP MOVSB
/STOSB. On processors supporting enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, the alternative
clear_page_c_e function using enhanced REP STOSB overrides the original function
and the fast string function.
