SSE4.2 on Zhaoxin CPUs are compatible with Intel. The presence of
CRC32C instruction is enumerated by CPUID.01H:ECX.SSE4_2[bit 20] = 1.
Some Zhaoxin CPUs declare support SSE4.2 instruction sets but their
CRC32C instruction are working with low performance.
Add a synthetic CPU flag to indicates that the CRC32C instruction is
not working as intended. This low performance CRC32C instruction flag
is depend on X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2.
