--- Comment #2 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
We have a patch for this at Isilon.

Unfortunately, our assembly CRC32C implementations are privately licensed I=
ntel
code we can't share.  Do you have a permissively licensed replacement we co=
uld
use in FreeBSD?

There are two algorithms.  One algorithm just uses SSE4.2 instructions and =
no
FPU; that's generally usable in the kernel.  There is another algorithm that
also uses PCLMULQDQ (FPU) which is less generally suitable for the kernel, =
but
an option if the thread is already preserving FPU state.
