I didn't check Robert's full list, but at least in the case of
aesni-intel_glue this is not about AVX2-depends-on-AVX or
AVX-depends-on-XSAVE (and it is not about QEMU at all). It's just that
checking AVX or AVX2 only tells you about presence and is not enough to
say whether the instructions are _usable_. Likewise for AVX512.
What would the dependency be?
