Support for Pre-SSE2 CPUs #3

@Postrediori

Description

@Postrediori

Almost every media about Spectre mentions CPUs starting from 1995 are vulnerable. This PoC uses rdtscp and clflush instructions that are not available on everything that was released before SSE2.

While it is possible to make workaround for rdtscp (e.g. like this comment on the original gist), it would be also interesting to create PoC for older chips with other means of flushing the cache, to find out the real age of the issue.
