I hereby declare myself to be Today's Official Mr Fuck All Good.

On top of that patch which fixes CONFIG_CRC32=y, you'll need this patch
which fixes CONFIG_CRC32=m, newly broken (at least with new modutils) by
the removal of the EXPORT_SYMBOL()s from crc32.o...·

Full patch against 2.4.21-rc3 is in
ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dwmw2/crc32/

(and in master.kernel.org:~dwmw2/BK/crc32-2.4 still)
