Turning on crypto self-tests on a POWER8 shows:
alg: hash: Test 1 failed for crc32c-vpmsum
00000000: ff ff ff ff
Comparing the code with the Intel CRC32c implementation on which
ours is based shows that we are doing an init with 0, not ~0
as CRC32c requires.
This probably wasn't caught because btrfs does its own weird
open-coded initialisation.
Initialise our internal context to ~0 on init.
This makes the self-tests pass, and btrfs continues to work.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
