Add support for architecture-optimized implementations of the CRC64 library functions, following the approach taken for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library functions. Also take the opportunity to tweak the function prototypes: - Use 'const void *' for the lib entry points (since this is easier for users) but 'const u8 *' for the underlying arch and generic functions (since this is easier for the implementations of these functions). - Don't bother with __pure. It's an unusual optimization that doesn't help properly written code. It's a weird quirk we can do without. Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: "Martin K.

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 reStructuredText 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.
