This patch adds the re-write crc64 calculation routines for Linux
kernel.
The CRC64 polynomical arithmetic follows ECMA-182 specification,
inspired
by CRC paper of Dr. Ross N. Williams
(see http://www.ross.net/crc/download/crc_v3.txt) and other public
domain
implementations.

All the changes work in this way,
- When Linux kernel is built, host program lib/gen_crc64table.c will
be
  compiled to lib/gen_crc64table and executed.
- The output of gen_crc64table execution is an array called as lookup
  table (a.k.a POLY 0x42f0e1eba9ea369) which contain 256 64bits-long
  numbers, this talbe is dumped into header file lib/crc64table.h.
- Then the header file is included by lib/crc64.c for normal 64bit crc
  calculation.
- Function declaration of the crc64 calculation routines is placed in
  include/linux/crc64.h
Thanks for an update! My comments below.

As required by coding style this tag should be accompanied with SoB of

For sake of consistency I would name _len as well.
Hmm, I will use 'p', and use '_p' for internal argument.

I think 64-bit form is slightly better and more often

$ git grep -n -w 64bit | wc -l
809

$ git grep -n -w 64-bit | wc -l
2957

Ditto.
Sure, I will change them to 64-bit.

_len ?
I will rename '_p' to 'p' here too.

Fixed in v4.

I guess {0} would work as well (no comma).
Fixed them in v4.

Do wee need these? CRC32 case seems fine without.
I renamed uapi/linux/types.h to linux/types.h, this header is for 'u64'.
Another header linux/cache.h is for '____cacheline_aligned'. They should
be necessary if these two headers are not included before
lib/crc64table.h is included.

Thanks for your review :-)
