[PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Add AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) and Bit reversal support

From: Nikunj A Dadhania

Date: Wed Feb 04 2026 - 23:22:43 EST


Add support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) and Bit Reversal
instructions, a feature that enables bit matrix multiply operations and
bit reversal, which is exposed via CPUID leaf 0x80000021_EAX[23].

Expose the support to guests when available by including it in the CPUID
leaf 0x80000021_EAX feature list.

While at it, reorder PREFETCHI to match the bit position order in CPUID
leaf 0x80000021_EAX for better organization.
