@dholmes-ora @jatin-bhateja I have implemented your review comments.
I have used the direct formulation for avx3_threshold() method as suggested by David.
Reused the avx3_threshold() computation where possible as suggested by Jatin.
The tier1-tier3 testing passed on the platform where avx3_threshold() returns 0. 
No additional observable overhead seen in SPECjvm2008 startup benchmarks on AVX512 platform.
Please let me know if the patch looks ok to you.
