2.8 fails to build on ppc64le GNU/Linux Ubuntu

[Former user]

On an up to date ppc64le Ubuntu 16.04 system which already has x265 version 2.7, trying to build 2.8 fails with:

This is very common bug, they forgot sync new interface on non-x86 path (ppc, arm) You may simple change the code to:

p->cpuid = parseCpuName(value, bError, 0);
