 * Used by the iSCSI driver, possibly others, and derived from the
 * the iscsi-crc.c module of the linux-iscsi driver at
 * http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net.
 *
 * Following the example of lib/crc32, this function is intended to be
 * flexible and useful for all users.  Modules that currently have their
 * own crc32c, but hopefully may be able to use this one are:
 *  net/sctp (please add all your doco to here if you change to
 *            use this one!)
