Are we deprecating libcrc32c, then? Or just turning it into a wrapper around the crypto code?
It will be removed.
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...
There only three crc32c users in the kernel tree and the crypto interface will serve the perfectly.
