Remove crc64-rocksoft from the crypto API. It has no known user now that the lib is no longer built on top of it. It was also added much more recently than the longstanding crc32 and crc32c. Unlike crc32 and crc32c, crc64-rocksoft is also not mentioned in the dm-integrity documentation and there are no references to it in anywhere in the cryptsetup git repo, so it is unlikely to have any user there either. Also, this CRC variant is named incorrectly; it has nothing to do with Rocksoft and should be called crc64-nvme. That is yet another reason to remove it from the crypto API; we would not want anyone to start depending on the current incorrect algorithm name of crc64-rocksoft. Note that this change temporarily makes this CRC variant not be covered by any tests, as previously it was relying on the crypto self-tests. This will be fixed by adding this CRC variant to crc_kunit. 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.
