[PATCH 1/2] x86: Use -mno-avx when available

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On gccs that support AVX it's a good idea to disable that too, similar to
how SSE2, SSE1 etc. are already disabled. This prevents the compiler
from generating AVX ever implicitely.

No failure observed, just from review.
