Egads, why can't you use that x86_match_cpu() above, and also this
really wants a comment on why you're excluding these chips. Also, since
(IIRC) ZHAOXIN is basically AND, shouldn't they also be listed?

That is; write it like:

	m = x86_match_cpu(crc32_cpu_id);
	if (!m || !m->data)
		return -ENODEV;

That way you can have positive and negative matches in the array
(obviously the existing FEATURE test would need data=1 and be last).
