Description
While working on issue #106450, a discussion about unifying the avx512*
flags (the ones that indicate with AVX-512 ISA's are enabled) came to light. Source: #106450 (comment)
The reasoning for this is that at this point, in all the scenarios we currently support, enabling one avx512
implies enabling all of them, in an all or nothing fashion. The same applies to the avx512vbmi
ones. Consequently, having separate flags for each ISA is becoming redundant and harder to maintain. Unifying them into just avx512
and avx512vbmi
would simplify this logic and make it easier to work with these components, while at the same time making them less prone to bugs like the one in #106450.
