    Anyway, the point here is the crc32c is nothing special. It's
    just one out of many algorithms that has/will have hardware
    acceleration support.

    Rather than doing ad-hoc implementations and optimising that
    whenever such a thing pops up, let's spend our effort in creating
    a common platform that can be reused.

    Cheers,
