AVX512_FP16 is supported by Intel processors, like Sapphire Rapids. It could gain better performance for it's faster compared to FP32 if the precision or magnitude requirements are met. It's availability is indicated by CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 23]. Expose it in KVM supported CPUID, then guest could make use of it; no new registers are used, only new instructions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
