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.
