Tested the patch on Power10 machine, now its correctly able to interpret cpuid
value and perf Simple expression parser test passed.

# ./perf test -v 7
   7: Simple expression parser                                        :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 87922
Using CPUID 0x00800200
division by zero
syntax error
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Simple expression parser: Ok
