The GODEBUG environment variable can be used to disable usage of
specific processor features of Go programs that use the sys/cpu package.
This is useful for testing and benchmarking different code paths that
are guarded by sys/cpu variable checks.
Use of processor features can not be enabled through GODEBUG.
To disable usage of AVX and SSE41 cpu features on GOARCH amd64 use:
GODEBUG=cpu.avx=off,cpu.sse41=off
The special "all" option can be used to disable all options:
GODEBUG=all=off
This aligns the support of GODEBUG for sys/cpu with existing support
for GODEBUG in the Go standard library package internal/cpu.

Add basic support for IBM Z (s390x) CPU feature (known as
'facilities') detection.
Note that some of these features are mandatory when using the Go
compiler (for example, ldisp and eimm) but aren't mandatory when
using gccgo.
Cryptographic function detection is not yet implemented for
gccgo.
