Jeff sent the patch once, I've sent the patch repeatedly. Marcelo looked at it and said he wanted to see it in 2.5.x first. Linus has been silent. http://domsch.com/linux/patches/crc32/2.5.2-pre7/ has the current implementation, broken into several smaller parts, and provided as one big patch too. Two additional drivers (de2140x.c and sis900.c) were modified *after* the patch set was created and are also there; the drivers/net/Makefile.lib needs to be touched to add those drivers to the list - I haven't done that yet. Keith, if you can get it in, I'd be glad for it. Bugger is, when 2.5.x does away with fs/partitions/*, my need for the crc32 function in the kernel to support GPT dies too. Progress I guess...
