It makes no sense to leave crc32_be using the generic code while we
only accelerate the little-endian ops.
Even though the big-endian form doesn't fit as smoothly into the arm64,
we can speed it up and avoid hitting the D cache.
Tested on Cortex-A53. Without acceleration:
crc32: CRC_LE_BITS = 64, CRC_BE BITS = 64
crc32: self tests passed, processed 225944 bytes in 192240 nsec
crc32c: CRC_LE_BITS = 64
crc32c: self tests passed, processed 112972 bytes in 21360 nsec
With acceleration:
crc32: CRC_LE_BITS = 64, CRC_BE BITS = 64
crc32: self tests passed, processed 225944 bytes in 53480 nsec
crc32c: CRC_LE_BITS = 64
crc32c: self tests passed, processed 112972 bytes in 21480 nsec

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
