This patch set adds basic implementation of crc64 calculation as Linux kernel library. Since bcache already does crc64 by itself, this patch set also modifies bcache code to use the new crc64 library routine. bcache uses crc64 as storage checksum, if a change of crc lib routines results an inconsistent result, the unmatched checksum may make bcache 'think' the on-disk is corrupted, such change should be avoided or detected as early as possible. Therefore the last patch in this series adds a crc test framework, to check consistency of different calculations. Changelog: v3: Remove little endian restriction and remove 'le' from function names. Fixes all review comments of v2 v2: Combine first two patches into one Fixes all review comments of v1 v1: Initial version.
