Most of the defines indicate the availability of intrinsics. At least that was 
their original intent. They used to control what intrinsic header were included 
in x86intrin.h or immintrin.h. Though now we include everything except in MSVC 
compatible mode and allow the target attribute to provide per function control.

I'd prefer not to add this one if gcc doesn't have it.
