Sorry for the back and forth here, but IMO we do want to probe for this
at runtime: sure there's no issue executing the pause (aside from that
PC silliness, but we've all agreed to ignore that) but we still need to
execute the div on platforms that predate Zihintpause otherwise we
regress on cpu_relax() there. IIUC there's still no hardware with
Zihintpause, so regressing on real hardware in favor of an unimplemented
extension is the wrong way to go.

Should be pretty easy to do this with the alternatives mechanism.
