Just in case we are not on the same page.
So we are looking forward to an "extended" -m[no-]avx10-max-512bit option,
which can also be used on AVX512. The other basic logic will not change.
BTW, -mevex512 is not a good name since there will be 64 bit mask operations
promoted to EVEX128 in APX, which might cause confusion.
