> This bugfix patch adds the special handling as per x86 AVX512-FP16 ISA specification[1][2] to compute max/min operations with +/-0.0 or NaN operands.
> 
> Special handling leverage the instruction semantic, central idea is to shuffle the operands such that smaller input gets assigned to second operand for min operation or a larger input gets assigned to second operand for max operation, in addition result equals NaN if an unordered comparison detects first input as a NaN value else we return the result of min/max operation.
