Ben Hutchings 5367b6887e x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.

The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched.  Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.

Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().
