# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_GCC_X86_AVX_XGETBV
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   On later x86 processors with AVX SIMD support, with gcc or a compiler
#   that has a compatible syntax for inline assembly instructions, run a
#   small program that executes the xgetbv instruction with input OP. This
#   can be used to detect if the OS supports AVX instruction usage.
#
#   On output, the values of the eax and edx registers are stored as
#   hexadecimal strings as "eax:edx" in the cache variable
#   ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv.
#
#   If the xgetbv instruction fails (because you are running a
#   cross-compiler, or because you are not using gcc, or because you are on
#   a processor that doesn't have this instruction),
#   ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv_OP is set to the string "unknown".
#
#   This macro mainly exists to be used in AX_EXT.
