Which sounds to me like AMX is something which should not be enabled
automatically but explicitly requested. I don't see the majority of the
processes on the majority of the Linux machines out there doing AI with
AMX - at least not anytime soon. If it becomes ubiquitous later, we can
make it automatic then.

Thx.
