[PATCH RFC] kvm: x86: Expose AVX512_BF16 feature to guest

From: Jing Liu
Date: Thu Jun 20 2019 - 07:23:21 EST


AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions support 16-bit BFLOAT16 floating-point
format (BF16) for deep learning optimization.

Intel adds AVX512 BFLOAT16 feature in CooperLake, which is CPUID.7.1.EAX[5].

Detailed information of the CPUID bit can be found here,
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c5/15/\
architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.pdf.
