File xsa402-4.patch of Package xen.27499

From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/amd: Work around CLFLUSH ordering on older parts

On pre-CLFLUSHOPT AMD CPUs, CLFLUSH is weakely ordered with everything,
including reads and writes to the address, and LFENCE/SFENCE instructions.

This creates a multitude of problematic corner cases, laid out in the manual.
Arrange to use MFENCE on both sides of the CLFLUSH to force proper ordering.

This is part of XSA-402.
