The intrinsic should allow for better compiler performance, but the change did not account for the fact that the inline assembly being in AT&T syntax used the opposite operand order of the intrinsic. This turns out to not matter for correctness, because the CRC32 operation is commutative. However, it could potentially matter for performance, because the loop is more efficient with the moving pointer in the source operand and the accumulation in the destination operand. This was discovered by Jan Beulich when looking at the equivalent code in the Linux kernel. Signed-off-by: H.
