KVM: x86: Advertise AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) to userspace

[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Advertise AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) to userspace

Posted by Nikunj A Dadhania 2 months ago

Advertise AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) and Bit Reversal instructions to
userspace via CPUID leaf 0x80000021_EAX[23]. This feature enables bit
matrix multiply operations and bit reversal.

While at it, reorder PREFETCHI to match the bit position order in CPUID
leaf 0x80000021_EAX for better organization.
