Andy Polyakov 64d92d7498 x86_64 assembly pack: "optimize" for Knights Landing, add AVX-512 results.
"Optimize" is in quotes because it's rather a "salvage operation"
for now. Idea is to identify processor capability flags that
drive Knights Landing to suboptimial code paths and mask them.
Two flags were identified, XSAVE and ADCX/ADOX. Former affects
choice of AES-NI code path specific for Silvermont (Knights Landing
is of Silvermont "ancestry"). And 64-bit ADCX/ADOX instructions are
effectively mishandled at decode time. In both cases we are looking
at ~2x improvement.

AVX-512 results cover even Skylake-X :-)

Hardware used for benchmarking courtesy of Atos, experiments run by
Romain Dolbeau <romain.dolbeau@atos.net>. Kudos!
