This change makes sense

I am not sure these make sense, it adds additional complexity to an 
already complex testing matrix.

Both the bonnell and silvermont tunes are fully part of their respective 
core* tune settings, there is no real need to become more specific. We 
know that newer code is starting to use intrinsics that can determine 
the correct extensions based on the CPU type.

I know you replied partly to RP's query, but is there something specific 
your trying to accomplish with these additional .incs that we don't 
already do and if so what?

Sau!
