Your code uses the (one and only) CRC-32 polynomial 0x04c11db7, so just
describing it as the "CRC-32" function should be sufficient documentation.
It's the same CRC function as used by PKZIP, Ethernet, and chksum.
It's not compatible with the Intel CRC32 instruction which uses the
CRC-32C polynomial (0x1EDC6F41).
