Are we deprecating libcrc32c, then? Or just turning it into a wrapper around the crypto code?
Maybe I can pick up crc32c_intel_le_hw_byte and crc32c_intel_le_hw into one arch-related file and make the current new crypto interface and libcrc32c call it.
Either way, does it really make sense to force all crc32 users to pull in the whole crypto framework? Some may get fractious about that...
If there were really few (or no) user using that previous interface, it will be reasonable to merge the crc32c totally into crypto subsystem as a digest method. And I remembered Herbert had mentioned he will convert those previous interface calling to new crypto API. For the crc32c, he had done for it.
