+ * CRC32C
+ *@Article{castagnoli-crc,
+ * author = { Guy Castagnoli and Stefan Braeuer and Martin Herrman},
+ * title = {{Optimization of Cyclic Redundancy-Check Codes with 24
+ * and 32 Parity Bits}},
+ * journal = IEEE Transactions on Communication,
+ * year = {1993},
+ * volume = {41},
+ * number = {6},
+ * pages = {},
+ * month = {June},
+ *}
+ * Used by the iSCSI driver, possibly others, and derived from the
+ * the iscsi-crc.c module of the linux-iscsi driver at
+ * http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net.
+ *
+ * Following the example of lib/crc32, this function is intended to be
+ * flexible and useful for all users. Modules that currently have their
+ * own crc32c, but hopefully may be able to use this one are:
+ * net/sctp (please add all your doco to here if you change to
+ * use this one!)
