It's because iSCSI uses it with scatterlists. The crypto layer provides a nice interface for that while using it directly would require the user to do the scatterlist walk. > Using crc32c directly might enable us to kill net/sctp/crc32c.c and > merge lib/crc32.c and lib/libcrc32c? I'm pretty sure we can kill net/sctp/crc32c.c today by converting it over to use the crypto interface.
