LSD expansion

The glossary expands LSD as

[LSD]: Loop stream decoder

For Intel, LSD actually expands to "Loop Stream Detector" (§2.4.2.4 of the optimization guide). I didn't submit a PR to change this, because maybe the discrepancy here is intentional? Maybe you are using LSD to describe a more generic hypothetical unit that could be decoding a specific loop instruction?

@Smattr - no I was trying to describe the detector :), I guess I just wasn't aware of the proper name. Fixing...
