This patch adds new symbols in the API without going through the
experimental phase.
What is the rationale for skipping it?

Pushing those flags in the cflags is probably wrong, as the rest of
the library objects will be compiled with those AVX512 flags.
If later this library code is run on a non supporting AVX512 system,
it will trigger a runtime error.


Please look at how other libraries integrated AVX512.
Thanks.
