While creating the conda environment for devito, pip fails with error: conflicting types for ‘_xgetbv’.

On Slack (at #installation) @navjotk replied about this workaround for AMD zen processors: Blosc/python-blosc#203 (even though my processor isn't AMD - it supports avx2 but apparently this is broken on blosc)

So, this worked:

DISABLE_BLOSC_AVX2=1 conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate devito
DISABLE_BLOSC_AVX2=1  pip install -e .

I believe we fixed the error using the fix suggested at Blosc/python-blosc#203 . Can we close this now?
