Changes since last time:
* remove all the request_module() calls I added last time. If a driver
needs crc32.o and it's a module, modprobe pulls it in automatically.
* Create {fs,drivers/net,drivers/usb}/Makefile.lib. In each, list modules
as obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += crc32.o. In lib/Makefile, include each
Makefile.lib. This allows drivers to update the list local to themselves
and not have to patch lib/Makefile. This should satisfy Keith Owens'
concern in this regard.
* Added a whole new set of drivers, those based on 8390.o, to the list.
* MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in crc32_init(). Since this is a set of library
functions (albiet sometimes built in a module), there's no good reason to
unload crc32.o. This keeps a user from 'modprobe driver; rmmod crc32'
without changing each driver to increment/decrement its usage of crc32.
* additional cleanups, documentation
Patch at
http://domsch.com/linux/patches/crc32/linux-2.4.15-pre4-crc32-20011112.patch
includes the former crc32-lib and crc32-drivers patch all as one.
