crypto: powerpc - Add POWER8 optimised crc32c
Use the vector polynomial multiply-sum instructions in POWER8 to
speed up crc32c.
This is just over 41x faster than the slice-by-8 method that it
replaces. Measurements on a 4.1 GHz POWER8 show it sustaining
52 GiB/sec.
A simple btrfs write performance test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/tmpfile bs=1M count=4096
sync
is over 3.7x faster.
