The driver needs CPUID annotations now (since 3.3), so that it can be 
autoloaded.  Something like:

#include <asm/cpu_device_id.h>


static const struct x86_cpu_id avx_cpu_id[] = {
        X86_FEATURE_MATCH(X86_FEATURE_AVX),
        {}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(x86cpu, avx_cpu_id);


Replace the manual check in init with

            if (!x86_match_cpu(avx_cpu_id))
                return -ENODEV;

Also drivers should never print anything when they cannot find hardware.
Remove that printk.
