Subject[PATCH] crypto: x86/crc32c-intel - Don't match some Zhaoxin CPUs
Date
The driver crc32c-intel match CPUs supporting X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2.
On platforms with Zhaoxin CPUs supporting this X86 feature, when
crc32c-intel and crc32c-generic are both registered, system will
use crc32c-intel because its .cra_priority is greater than
crc32c-generic.

When doing lmbench3 Create and Delete file test on partitions with
ext4 enabling metadata checksum, found using crc32c-generic driver
could get about 20% performance gain than using the driver crc32c-intel
on some Zhaoxin CPUs.

This case expect to use crc32c-generic driver for these Zhaoxin CPUs
to get performance gain, so remove these Zhaoxin CPUs support from
crc32c-intel.
