Bob Pearson 9a1dbf6a29 crc32: make CRC_*_BITS definition correspond to actual bit counts
crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the
LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters
CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS.

In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected
versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a
time.

This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a
time.  To make things easier to understand the parameter has been
reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each
step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the
value 32.

This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes
the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm.
