This is so that the avx2 version of ff_hscale8to15X which uses gather
instructions is only selected on machines where it will actually be
faster.
We've in the past typically done this with a bit in the cpuflags return
value. Can this be added there instead of being its own function?
Also, what is the cycle count of ssse3/avx2 implementation for this
specific function on Haswell? It would be good to note that in the
respective patch so that we understand why the check was added.
Between 9 and 12 on Haswell, 5 to 7 on Broadwell, and about 2 to 5 on
Skylake and newer, acording to Agner's pdf if i'm reading it right. It's
also slow on AMD before Zen 3.
And yes, this should if anything be a new cpu flag and not a new function.
