clzero

Clears the cache line specified by the logical address in rAX by writing a zero to every byte in the line. The instruction uses an implied non temporal memory type, similar to a streaming store, and uses the write combining protocol to minimize cache pollution. CLZERO is weakly-ordered with respect to other instructions that operate on memory. Software should use an SFENCE or stronger to enforce memory ordering of CLZERO with respect to other store instructions. The CLZERO instruction executes at any privilege level. CLZERO performs all the segmentation and paging checks that a store of the specified cache line would perform. The CLZERO instruction is supported if the feature flag CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX[CLZERO] is set. The 8-bit field CPUID Fn 0000_0001_EBX[CLFlush] returns the size of the cacheline in quadwords.
