Patch from Joakim Tjernlund <joakim.tjernlund@lumentis.se> Here is another update(against BK curr) for crc32(). A kind soul pointed out the optimizations below. lib/crc32defs.h: - Make it possible to define new values for CRC_LE_BITS/CRC_BE_BITS without modifying the source. lib/crc32.c: - Eliminate the need for ENDIAN_SHIFT. Saves a 24 bit shift in the byte loops. - Swap the XOR expression in DO_CRC. gcc for x86 can not do that simple optimization itself(gcc 3.2.2 and RH gcc 2.96 tested). Will improve performance with 20-25% on x86.
