Instantiate crc-pclmul-template.S for crc_t10dif 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 i386.

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.
