[PATCH v3 4/7] x86/tlb: add tlb flush all factor for specific CPUs

[Alex Shi]

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has
different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg.
And there maybe has cases the tlb flush change has no any help.

This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance
to set different factors for different CPU type.

like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on Romely-EP;
while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; but on model 15 core2 Xeon
using invlpg has nothing help.

For untested machine, no optimization now.
