Implement spinlock support for SMP on UML/x86, leveraging x86's spinlock implementation. In addition, to support SMP on CPUs that do not support CX8, some additional work is required. However, considering that such CPUs are already very outdated, and x86 is also removing support for them [1], let's enable SMP support only on CPUs that support CX8.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
