x86: Use _rdtsc intrinsic for HP_TIMING_NOW
Since _rdtsc intrinsic is supported in GCC 4.9, we can use it for HP_TIMING_NOW. This patch 1. Create x86 hp-timing.h to replace i686 and x86_64 hp-timing.h. 2. Move MINIMUM_ISA from init-arch.h to isa.h so that x86 hp-timing.h can check minimum x86 ISA to decide if _rdtsc can be used. NB: Checking if __i686__ isn't sufficient since __i686__ may not be defined when building for i686 class processors. * sysdeps/i386/init-arch.h: Removed. * sysdeps/i386/i586/init-arch.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/i686/init-arch.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/i686/hp-timing.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/hp-timing.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/isa.h: New file. * sysdeps/i386/i586/isa.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/i686/isa.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/isa.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/hp-timing.h: New file. * sysdeps/x86/init-arch.h: Include <isa.h>.
