+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_GCC_X86_AVX_XGETBV
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# On later x86 processors with AVX SIMD support, with gcc or a compiler
+# that has a compatible syntax for inline assembly instructions, run a
+# small program that executes the xgetbv instruction with input OP. This
+# can be used to detect if the OS supports AVX instruction usage.
+#
+# On output, the values of the eax and edx registers are stored as
+# hexadecimal strings as "eax:edx" in the cache variable
+# ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv.
+#
+# If the xgetbv instruction fails (because you are running a
+# cross-compiler, or because you are not using gcc, or because you are on
+# a processor that doesn't have this instruction),
+# ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv_OP is set to the string "unknown".
+#
+# This macro mainly exists to be used in AX_EXT.
