x86: add linux kernel support for YMM state
Impact: save/restore Intel-AVX state properly between tasks
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) introduce 256-bit vector processing
capability. More about AVX at http://software.intel.com/sites/avx
Add OS support for YMM state management using xsave/xrstor infrastructure
to support AVX.
