Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate new AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions

AVX512 Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI) in Intel Deep Learning
Boost support BFLOAT16 format (BF16). BF16 is a short version of FP32 and
has several advantages over FP16. BF16 offers more than enough range for
deep learning training tasks and doesn't need to handle hardware exception
as this is a performance optimization. FP32 accumulation after the
multiply is essential to achieve sufficient numerical behavior on an
application level.

AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions can be enumerated by:
	CPUID.7.1:EAX[bit 5] AVX512_BF16

Add word 12 to hold features in CPUID.7.1:EAX 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.
