> The goal of this PR is to generate x86 code using Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) instructions which doubles the number of general-purpose registers, from 16 to 32. Intel APX adds nondestructive destination (NDD) and no flags (NF) flavor for the scalar instructions through EVEX encoding.
> 
> For more information about APX, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/advanced-performance-extensions-apx.html.
