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.
