Some of these were missed when using the script and were noticed when
building intel-skylake-64 and tiny images which had started failing.

Add 64-bit new machine (intel-skylake-64) with -march=skylake
and avx2 instruction-set set up.
We do see a qemu-usermode failure at build time, on setup of
avx2 instruction-set as QEMU does not support AVX instruction
set.
Check this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1818075
So to bypass this issue disabling qemu-usermode for intel-skylake-64
machine.
Due to above limitation and in order to not affecting existing
machines, this new machine is being proposed to add.
A quick performance comparision between intel-corei7-64 vs intel-skylake-64 machines
Measurements are in time, taken by the benchmark tests. Less is better.

These are common settings for any meta-intel compatible kernel. It sets
things like COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, default module autoload settings, the
correct KMACHINE for the chosen MACHINE, and adds any KERNEL_FEATURES
that have been added to KERNEL_FEATURES_INTEL_COMMON.
