Bug Description

AMX FP16 is a new instruction feature which introduces FP16 data type on TMUL / AMX w32b accuracy. Currently it's documented in IC Spec https://wiki.ith.intel.com/display/X86ISA/RWC+and+GNR+EASes?preview=/1180967332/1581159417/amx-fp16-eas-2020-05-18-rev-3.pdf#RWCandGNREASes-AMXFP16EAS and finally it will be released to public in Intel Instruction Set Extensions (ISE) http://www.intel.com/software/isa

KVM implementation needs to expose this new instruction and below CPUID bit into guest.
AMX_FP16: CPUID.(7.1).EAX[21]

After this feature enabled, guest should able to see this CPUID bit and use this new instruction in application (e.g. in enabled AI workload).
