Summary

This is required to announce support for some accelerated AES
operations. AVX512BW indicates support for the AVX512-FP16 extension
and AVX512VL indicates support for the use of AVX512 instructions with
vector lengths smaller than 512 bits.

VAES and VPCLMULQDQ extensions indicate that VEX-prefixed AES-NI and
pclmulqdq instructions are supported.

All of these bits are needed for OpenSSL to use VAES to accelerate
AES-GCM operations.
