Pull x86 splitlock updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for 'split lock' detection:

  Atomic operations (lock prefixed instructions) which span two cache
  lines have to acquire the global bus lock. This is at least 1k cycles
  slower than an atomic operation within a cache line and disrupts
  performance on other cores. Aside of performance disruption this is a
  unpriviledged form of DoS.

  Some newer CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when such an
  operation is attempted. The detection is by default enabled in warning
  mode which will warn once when a user space application is caught. A
  command line option allows to disable the detection or to select fatal
  mode which will terminate offending applications with SIGBUS"
