x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate the new AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions
AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions support 16-bit BFLOAT16 floating-point
format (BF16) for deep learning optimization.
BF16 is a short version of 32-bit single-precision floating-point
format (FP32) and has several advantages over 16-bit half-precision
floating-point format (FP16). BF16 keeps FP32 accumulation after
multiplication without loss of precision, offers more than enough
range for deep learning training tasks, and doesn't need to handle
hardware exception.
AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions are enumerated in CPUID.7.1:EAX[bit 5]
AVX512_BF16.
CPUID.7.1:EAX contains only feature bits. Reuse the currently empty
word 12 as a pure features word to hold the feature bits including
AVX512_BF16.
Detailed information of the CPUID bit and AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions
can be found in the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference.
