I'm getting this.

I'll try to do some test and notes.

I think that a regression test may show what is and what is not the=20
ether CRC-32.

At the moment, I'll go private with
=2D CRC_INIT, CRC_DO, CRC_GET macros
=2D An implementation in the way of crc32(), crc32_raw(), but avoiding=20
symbol collission.

And go to libkern through the macros if doable.
