From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> For handling the 0 <= len < sizeof(unsigned long) bytes left at the end, do a 4-2-1 step-down instead of a byte-at-a-time loop. This allows taking advantage of wider CRC instructions. Note that crc32c-3way.S already uses this same optimization too. crc_kunit shows an improvement of about 25% for len=127. Suggested-by: H.
