[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | accelerated: clear AVX bits if it cannot be queried through XSAVE (!1631)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Hubert Kario (@mention me if you need reply) started a new discussion on lib/accelerated/x86/x86-common.c: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1631#note_1075950318

It depends on how the CRYPTOGRAMS code checks for those flags, if they check for AVX512F and one of those, then no, we don't have to; OTOH, if they look at one of those flags only, then they will need to be cleared too
