Despite its name, MI_FLUSH_DW instruction can write an immediate value of either dword size or qword size, depending on the 'length' field of the instruction. Since "length" excludes the first two dwords of the instruction, a value of 2 in the length field implies a dword write and a value of 3 implies a qword write. Even in cases where the flush instruction's post-sync operation is set to "no write" we're still expected to size the overall instruction as if we were doing a dword or qword write (i.e., a length of 1 shouldn't be used on modern platforms). Rather than baking a size of "1" into the #define and then adding another unexplained "+ 1" at all the spots where the definition gets used, lets just create MI_FLUSH_IMM_DW and MI_FLUSH_IMM_QW definitions that should be OR'd into the instruction header to make it more explicit what behavior we're requesting.

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 Restructured Text 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.
