Instantiate crc-pclmul-template.S for crc32_le, and delete the original PCLMULQDQ optimized implementation. This has the following advantages: - Less CRC-variant-specific code. - VPCLMULQDQ support, greatly improving performance on sufficiently long messages on newer CPUs. - A faster reduction from 128 bits to the final CRC. - Support for lengths not a multiple of 16 bytes, improving performance for such lengths. - Support for misaligned buffers, improving performance in such cases.

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.
