Subject: [PATCH 17/17] x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and the build tool that generates it
The only remaining task carried out by the boot/tools/build.c build tool
is generating the CRC-32 checksum of the bzImage. This feature was added
in commit
7d6e737c8d2698b6 ("x86: add a crc32 checksum to the kernel image.")
without any motivation (or any commit log text, for that matter). This
checksum is not verified by any known bootloader, and given that
a) the checksum of the entire bzImage is reported by most tools (zlib,
rhash) as 0xffffffff and not 0x0 as documented,
b) the checksum is corrupted when the image is signed for secure boot,
which means that no distro ships x86 images with valid CRCs,
it seems quite unlikely that this checksum is being used, so let's just
drop it, along with the tool that generates it.

-The Image Checksum
-==================
-
-From boot protocol version 2.08 onwards the CRC-32 is calculated over
-the entire file using the characteristic polynomial 0x04C11DB7 and an
-initial remainder of 0xffffffff. The checksum is appended to the
-file; therefore the CRC of the file up to the limit specified in the
-syssize field of the header is always 0.
