When CRC32c was included in the kernel, Anton ripped out
the #ifdefs around reflected polynomials, because CRC32c
is always reflected. However, not all CRCs use reflection
so we'd like to make it optional.
Restore the REFLECT parts from Anton's original CRC32
implementation (https://github.com/antonblanchard/crc32-vpmsum)
That implementation is available under GPLv2+, so we're OK
from a licensing point of view:
https://github.com/antonblanchard/crc32-vpmsum/blob/master/LICENSE.TXT
As CRC32c requires REFLECT, add that #define.

The core nuts and bolts of the crc32c vpmsum algorithm will
also work for a number of other CRC algorithms with different
polynomials. Factor out the function into a new asm file.
To handle multiple users of the function, a user simply
provides constants, defines the name of their CRC function,
and then #includes the core algorithm file.

Use the vector polynomial multiply-sum instructions in POWER8 to
speed up crc32c.
This is just over 41x faster than the slice-by-8 method that it
replaces. Measurements on a 4.1 GHz POWER8 show it sustaining
52 GiB/sec.
A simple btrfs write performance test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/tmpfile bs=1M count=4096
sync
is over 3.7x faster.
