llvm.x86.pclmulqdq on Julia over Apple M1

On Julia over Apple M1, I am unable to perform power operations as shown below.

There seems to be an error in the following line executing pclmulqdq in BinaryFields.jl. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a solution.

function carrylessmul(a::m128, b::m128)
    ccall("llvm.x86.pclmulqdq", llvmcall, m128, (m128, m128, UInt8), a, b, 0)
end

Hi @uchkw , would you be able to verify for me that

julia> using Base.BinaryPlatforms.CPUID

julia> CPUID.test_cpu_feature(CPUID.JL_X86_pclmul)

returns false on your platform? That will help me publish a fix.

Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, it returns false.

julia> using Base.BinaryPlatforms.CPUID

julia> CPUID.test_cpu_feature(CPUID.JL_X86_pclmul)
false

It worked! Thanks!
