I'm tired of rebasing it, so...

"-march=native" has been available in userspace for a long time and is
trivial to enable in Gentoo:

	$ grep -e ^CFLAGS /etc/portage/make.conf
	CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

Patchset enables kernel compile with "-march=native" and do additional
optimizations based on CPU detection. Unfortunately most of the fun is in
SSE2/AVX2 instructions and kernel can't use those. But I have ideas for
at least BMI2.

This is intended to be an alternative to old school MCORE2 options.
Gentoo also ships a patch unrolling all those individual -march= options
into kernel config options. This patch should deprecate it.

See the link for more information:

	https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html

Patch adds:
* -mgeneral-regs-only
	with -march=native all those shiny AVX42-666 instructions
	may suddenly became available

* small compile time partial CPUID detection,
* detect L1 cache shift at compile time,
* show "-march=native" line in /proc/config.gz,
* bump Kconfig "shell" output buffer to accomodate the option,

* inject individual MARCH_NATIVE options at compile time,
	see other patches.

Currently only Intel and gcc are supported.

Intel, because I never had and AMD box.

Gcc, because clang emits detailed "march=native" information in
a different way, so I need to think how to extract it reliably.

Size benchmarks, my trimmed down kernel:

	add/remove: 1/11 grow/shrink: 1856/5598 up/down: 14452/-65830 (-51378)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	sha_transform                               4302    4606    +304
				...
	udf_write_fi                                1907    1023    -884
	Total: Before=7814760, After=7763382, chg -0.66%

This is mostly due to memset() un-unrolling.

In general, say, crypto and hash code becomes bigger because all those
rotations and shifts become RORX and SHLX instructions and those are 5+
bytes. Older compilers may also emit "REP RET" on generic kernels
because AMD, but upon detecting Intel those REP prefixes may go.

Users are advised to enable it and do their own benchmarks to decide if
it is worth the hassle.
