[RFC 1/2 -tip/master] x86, x2apic: minimize IPI register writes usingcluster groups

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

In the case of x2apic cluster mode we can group IPI register writes based
on the cluster group instead of individual per-cpu destiantion messages.
This reduces the apic register writes and reduces the amount of IPI messages
(in the best case we can reduce it by a factor of 16).

With this change, microbenchmark measuring the cost of flush_tlb_others(),
with the flush tlb IPI being sent from a cpu in the socket-1 to all the logical
cpus in socket-2 (on a Westmere-EX system that has 20 logical cpus in a socket)
is 3x times better now (compared to the former 'send one-by-one' algorithm).
