When building without AVX2 support using an older compiler e.g. gcc 4.8
on Centos/RHEL 7, we get build errors due to the use of AVX2 intrinsics.
This is because the compiler does not support
"__attribute__((target(AVX2)))" function attribute. Disable build of
this driver such edge cases.
Generic builds using recent compilers, and all builds with a minimum
baseline of AVX2 are unaffected by this change.
