Thanks Dave.

Because "CPPC" has existed in the "cpufeatures.h", thinking it will add
duplicated line so I don't expand it.
Making this new flag hidden is to avoid causing user confusion about two
"CPPC" flags.
This new feature flag is added to choose code branch, if not, it has to
choose a ugly way and use CPU model ID.

Thanks,
Xiaojian
