x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.
