crc32: make CRC_*_BITS definition correspond to actual bit counts
crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS. In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a time. This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the value 32. This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm.
