I have committed slightly improved (attached) patch that uses
core-avx-i for IvyBridge and adds another IvyBridge model number.
While there, I also reordered a bunch  of statements.

Thanks,
Uros.

Page C-3 in ntel optimization guide shows:

06_3CH, 06_45H, 06_46H Intel microarchitecture Haswell
06_3AH, 06_3EH Intel microarchitecture Ivy Bridge
06_2AH, 06_2DH Intel microarchitecture Sandy Bridge
06_25H, 06_2CH, 06_2FH Intel microarchitecture Westmere
06_1AH, 06_1EH, 06_1FH, Intel microarchitecture Nehalem
06_2EH
06_17H, 06_1DH Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture
06_0FH Intel Core microarchitecture

At least, we should add 0x45 and 0x46 to Haswell.

OK, the patch is pre-approved.

Thanks,
Uros.

Can these changes be backported to 4.8 and the Ivy Bridge parts to 4.7 as
well? We've had a couple reports of bad -march=native results for Haswell on
4.7.  I can file PRs if you're interested.
