      "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 :-)
