15471	F16C, FMA and BMI extensions are not supported.	KlausErz		"Programs compiled with the Intel Compiler (C or Fortran) for >= Haswell do not run inside a VirtualBox VM (with AVX2 enabled), and immediately exit with the following error message:

{{{Please verify that both the operating system and the processor support Intel(R) F16C, FMA and BMI instructions.}}}

Of course, you can tell the Intel Compiler to generate fallback code, but then AVX2 instructions aren't used either, and the (scientific) program runs much slower.

The AVX2 support in VirtualBox would be even more useful if it was possible to run AVX2 optimized code produced by the Intel Compiler suite."	enhancement	new	other	VirtualBox 5.0.20		F16C FMA BMI AVX2		all	all
