I don't think you need that code at all. The crypto code is structured to prefer the optimized implementation if it is present. Just stripping the x86-specific code out and always requesting the plain crc32c algorithm should give you the optimized one if it is present on your system. Please give it a try. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
