Jacob Pan 2b107d9363 x86: Avoid check hlt for newer cpus
Check hlt instruction was targeted for some older CPUs. It is an expensive
operation in that it takes 4 ticks to break out the check.  We can avoid
such check completely for newer x86 cpus (family >= 5).

[ hpa: corrected family > 5 to family >= 5 ]
