Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar: "A handful of fixes: a kexec linking fix, an AMD MWAITX fix, a vmware guest support fix when built under Clang, and new CPU model number definitions" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/cpu: Add Comet Lake to the Intel CPU models header lib/string: Make memzero_explicit() inline instead of external x86/cpu/vmware: Use the full form of INL in VMWARE_PORT x86/asm: Fix MWAITX C-state hint value
