This page lists processor instruction sets that can be enabled on Funtoo Linux systems using the {{c|CPU_FLAGS_*}} variables.
Should the CPU_FLAGS suggested on this page include "lzcnt"?
As listed here [1] lzcnt was adopted in Intel Haswell.

Or is there a special reason that LZCNT was not listed on this page?

Should the CPU_FLAGS suggested on this page include "lzcnt"? As listed here [1] lzcnt was adopted in Intel Haswell.

Or is there a special reason that LZCNT was not listed on this page?
