SubjectRE: [PATCH] add slice by 8 algorithm to crc32.c

Um, I thought the Sarwate agorithm was what was already there as BITS=8.
(The original paper stores the CRC in two 8-bit variables and two
8-bit tables rather than using 16-bit words, but other than that,
it's identical.)

And that requires just 1KB of table per endianness.

Anyway, I thought the complaint about laarge tables was
not so much the memory as the L1 cache pollution.
