de28a4d4b2 Cycles: Add an AVX kernel for CPU rendering.
* AVX is available on Intel Sandy Bridge and newer and AMD Bulldozer and newer.
* We don't use dedicated AVX intrinsics yet, but gcc auto vectorization gives a 3% performance improvement for Caminandes. Tested on an i5-3570, Linux x64.
* No change for Windows yet, MSVC 2008 does not support AVX.
