Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This includes the following changes:

   - cpu_has() cleanups

   - sync_bitops.h modernization to the rmwcc.h facility, similarly to
     bitops.h

   - continued LTO annotations/fixes

   - misc cleanups and smaller cleanups"
