XanMod, Liquorix Kernels Offer Some Advantages On AMD Ryzen 5 Notebook

For dav1d AV1 video decoding the Liquorix kernel was the standout leading to faster decoding than the other tested kernels.

For most of the CPU-focused benchmarks, there wasn't much of a difference found between the six tested kernels.

While Liquorix was leading during AV1 decode tests with dav1d, during several of the video encoding benchmarks the Liquorix kernel fell behind the other five kernels.

In other select workloads too like Intel's Open Volume Kernel Library, Liquorix performed more poorly than XanMod or the mainline kernel builds.
