crc32, since it currently doesn't use the crypto api at all, and Bob was
interested in implementing slice-by-8 for it. Though I suppose so long as
there aren't any reasons to override the sw crc32 implementation we could just
fall back to Bob's earlier patch to implement slice-by-8 for crc32?

<shrug> I don't mind implementing faster crc32/crc32c.

(As far as crc32c goes, my motivation is to make sw crc32c faster for the cases
where you don't have Intel hw.)
