+ * Oct 28, 2015 Song Liu simplified the code and port it to mdadm
+ *
+ * Aug 8, 2011 Bob Pearson with help from Joakim Tjernlund and George Spelvin
+ * cleaned up code to current version of sparse and added the slicing-by-8
+ * algorithm to the closely similar existing slicing-by-4 algorithm.

+ * Oct 15, 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * Nicer crc32 functions/docs submitted by linux@horizon.com.  Thanks!
+ * Code was from the public domain, copyright abandoned.  Code was
+ * subsequently included in the kernel, thus was re-licensed under the
+ * GNU GPL v2.
+ *
+ * Oct 12, 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * Same crc32 function was used in 5 other places in the kernel.
+ * I made one version, and deleted the others.
+ * There are various incantations of crc32().  Some use a seed of 0 or ~0.
+ * Some xor at the end with ~0.  The generic crc32() function takes
+ * seed as an argument, and doesn't xor at the end.  Then individual
+ * users can do whatever they need.
+ *   drivers/net/smc9194.c uses seed ~0, doesn't xor with ~0.
+ *   fs/jffs2 uses seed 0, doesn't xor with ~0.
+ *   fs/partitions/efi.c uses seed ~0, xor's with ~0.
