I wonder, given the patch "crc32: Speed up memory table access on powerpc"
would you mind retesting to see if slice by 8 still trails slice by 4 on your
powerpc? I see that your mpc8321 has 16K of L1D cache and a 32-bit memory bus
whereas my 7447 has a 64-bit memory bus. I wonder if memory bus size could be
a defining characteristic...?

I tried it out the crc32c code on a s390x today; apparently by-8 trails by-4
there too. It's unfortunately difficult to figure out the hardware details of
whatever's going on underneath that VM.
