Looks good to me.

Thanks for reviewing.

This was largely straightforward, except for two things.

1) The tests assume that the 32-bit crc is stored in the context in
   cpu endian.  The sparc64 crc32c opcode wants to work with a little
   endian mode, but sparc64 is big-endian.

We can still change this as nothing outside the kernel relies
on the format of the context.  For the time being all that's
required is that it be identical between software and hardware
implementations.

Ok, let's just leave it alone for now :-)
