Re: [patch v5 7/8] crc32-add-slicing-by-8.diff

I don't know if you care, but here's some slightly more compact code for
creating the tables.  It produces the same results, and I don't think
it's any slower.

I can explain it if anyone's confused, but it's hopefully fairly
easy to figure out assuming a backgriund in CRC math.

(Tested against existing code, not in kernel.)

			crc = (crc >> 1) ^ (crc & 1 ? CRCPOLY_LE : 0);
			for (k = 0; k < LE_TABLE_SIZE; k += 2 * j)
				crc32table_le[i][j + k] = crc ^ crc32table_le[i][k];
