Synchronize rdtsc instructions
The CPU can arbitrarily reorder calls to rdtsc, significantly
reducing the precision of timing using the CPUs time stamp counter.
Unfortunately the method of synchronizing rdtsc is different
on AMD and Intel CPUs. There is a generic method, using the cpuid
instruction, but that uses up a lot of registers, and is very slow.
Hence, use the correct lfence/mfence instructions (for CPUs that
we know support it)
