[PATCH 9/15] misc: Make sysenter support optional

[Matt Mackall]

This adds configurable sysenter support on x86. This saves about 5k on
small systems.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex

enable_sep_cpu                               129       -    -129

Most of the savings is not including the vsyscall DSO which doesn't
show up with bloat-o-meter:

$ size arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
      0    4826       0    4826    12da arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.o

$ nm arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.o

00000000 T vsyscall_int80_start
000012da T vsyscall_sysenter_end
