Use CPU ability to perform CRC calculations, by
replacing direct calls to crc32_le() with crypto_shash_updata().
The overall performance gain measured with ib_send_bw tool is 10% and it
was tested on "Intel CPU ES-2660 v2 @ 2.20Ghz" CPU.
ib_send_bw -d rxe0 -x 1 -n 9000 -e -s $((1024 * 1024 )) -l 100

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
