Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> # C parts only

With the caveat that I'm not convinced that the memory clobbers are
needed.  The __force_order trick in special_insns.h would probably be
more appropriate.

I don't feel qualified to review the asm part without some research.
Whereas hpa or Boris could probably review it with their eyes closed.
