On Skylake platform, with native build, KNI kernel module crashes
because of the corrupted values passed to kernel module.
The corruption occurs because the userspace kni library works
unexpectedly. Compiler [1] is using AVX512 instructions and generated
binary is wrong [2].
It turned around gcc does its job correct, but gas is generating binary
wrong. And expected binutils 2.30, 2.31 & 2.31.1 are affected. Issue has
been fixed in binutils 2.32 with:
Commit x86: don't mistakenly scale non-8-bit displacements
AVX512 was already disabled with bintuils 2.30 [3], extending it to
2.31 & 2.31.1 too.
