AVX512 intrinsics not taken on CPU supporting AVX512?

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Kai,

Please try with explicitly specifying -XX:UseAVX=3 on JVM command line.

Best Regards,
Sandhya

I was just measuring performance of this code:
```
fromArray(SPECIES_512, es, 0).intoByteBuffer(bb, 0, nativeOrder()); ``` comparing it with:
```
fromArray(SPECIES_256, es, 0).intoByteBuffer(bb, 0, nativeOrder()); fromArray(SPECIES_256, es, 8).intoByteBuffer(bb, 32, nativeOrder()); ``` and found that the former was more than 10x slower than the latter on a Xeon Platinum 8124M, which according to cpuinfo does support AVX512:
```

Thanks!
