hw_x86_64: Use PAUSE instruction in wait_for_interrupt
Add spin loop hint by means of the PAUSE instruction since wait_for_interrupt is called in a busy loop. This should improve processor performance and reduce power consumption. Note: HLT cannot be used since it is a privileged instruction and the idle thread is executed in userspace.
