Actually, if people don't mind I'd like to take this through the crc tree.  Due
to https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250206173857.39794-1-ebiggers@kernel.org the
function crc_t10dif_is_optimized() becomes unused and we should remove it, which
would conflict with this patch which adds another implementation of it.
