[PATCH v1 2/3] x86/cpu: Set low performance CRC32C flag on some Zhaoxin CPUs

From: Tony W Wang-oc
Date: Thu Jan 07 2021 - 01:20:38 EST


Some Zhaoxin CPUs declare support SSE4.2 instruction sets but
having a CRC32C instruction implementation that not working as
intended. Set low performance CRC32C flag on these CPUs for later
use.
