I think we should not use 8-byte loop after 64-byte loop. Although the number of code lines is reduced, but it will run more subs and b.cond instruction. I test it and shown the result in the fellow excel.

Why I used three temp variables to do the ldp below is because our processor have two load/store unit, if we use the registers which are independent, it can processed in parallel.

By the way,  In most cases, crc short XOR 0xffffffff before and after the calculation, if we add 'mvn w0, w0' at the beginning and before the return will bring some benefits. What do you think about it?
