I ran into one link error on a randconfig build and then tried an 'allyesconfig'
configuration, turning everything off manually that selects CRC32.

Working through the resulting link errors ended up being more work than I was
planning for though, so I don't recommend reproducing this. I have another 25
patches for other subsystems.
