Description

Right now we have a number of cpuid related checks that are checking for support for features like BMI, AVX2, etc. These are set to be Intel only, which should change since AMD also supports these features.

To test this, I verified that we now detect the following instruction sets in a combination of isainfo and ::x86_featureset:
  • xsaveopt
  • xsavec
  • xsaves
  • adx
  • rdseed
  • bmi1
  • bmi2
  • avx2

SMAP and SMEP are also coming along for the ride.
