[PATCH 1/5] x86: support cache-writeback in flush_area_local() et al

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The majority of the present callers really aren't after invalidating
cache contents, but only after writeback. Make this available by simply
extending the FLUSH_CACHE handling accordingly. No feature checks are
required here: cache_writeback() falls back to cache_flush() as
necessary, while WBNOINVD degenerates to WBINVD on older hardware.
