CVE: N/A

Intel-SIG: commit b85a0425 x86: Enumerate AVX Vector Neural Network instructions
Backport for SPR core AVX VNNI support.

----------------------------

Add AVX version of the Vector Neural Network (VNNI) Instructions.
A processor supports AVX VNNI instructions if CPUID.0x07.0x1:EAX[4] is
present. The following instructions are available when this feature is
present.
1. VPDPBUS: Multiply and Add Unsigned and Signed Bytes
2. VPDPBUSDS: Multiply and Add Unsigned and Signed Bytes with Saturation
3. VPDPWSSD: Multiply and Add Signed Word Integers
4. VPDPWSSDS: Multiply and Add Signed Integers with Saturation

The only in-kernel usage of this is kvm passthrough. The CPU feature
flag is shown as "avx_vnni" in /proc/cpuinfo.

This instruction is currently documented in the latest "extensions"
manual (ISE). It will appear in the "main" manual (SDM) in the future.
