When testing the dm-writecache target on a real DDR persistent memory
(Intel Optane), it turned out that explicit cache flushing using the
clflushopt instruction performs better than non-temporal stores for
block sizes 1k, 2k and 4k.
The dm-writecache target is singlethreaded (all the copying is done
while holding the writecache lock), so it benefits from clwb, see:
http://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2004160411460.7833@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com
Add a new function memcpy_flushcache_optimized() that tests if
clflushopt is present - and if it is, we use it instead of
memcpy_flushcache.
