Presumably you have some code which will need this library feature?

What code is that, and what is its status?

Hi Andrew,

we have an IP Acceleration driver for Freescale network processors
which is using this CRC64. However, it still needs some work in
order for it to become upstreamable.

Thought this CRC64 could helps others in the meantime since it doesn't
have anything specific to do with our driver.

Best regards,
Marian.

Please don't top-post - it makes it very hard to conduct a conversation.

I don't think it's generally desirable to put code into lib/ unless we
have an in-kernel user: it consumes resources and is untestable.  From
a quick grep I don't see any current in-kernel code which might use
this.

So I'd propose that I keep this patch in -mm to get a bit of exposure
and compilation testing and wait until the first user comes along, OK?

Hi Andrew,

seems like a good plan. We will do our best to speed up developments for
the driver.

Best regards,
Marian.
