I suspect it would be pretty easy to adapt the Makefile to generate the
relevant .c and .h files; in particular it could be useful to use the crypto
framework for crc32 on the off chance anyone wants to provide hwaccel for that
too.

That said, merging libcrc32c-test vectors with the existing one (sorry, I
didn't realize that existed) shouldn't be too difficult.
