[RFC V2 2/5] x86: Probe assembler capabilities for VAES and VPLCMULQDQ support

From: Megha Dey <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-23 07:30:45
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

This is a preparatory patch to introduce the optimized crypto algorithms
using AVX512 instructions which would require VAES and VPLCMULQDQ support.

Check for VAES and VPCLMULQDQ assembler support using AVX512 registers.
