Hi Eric,

The purpose of test_crc is to provide a unified crc calculation
consistency testing for 0day. So far it is only crc64, and I will add
more test cases later. I see there is crc-32 test module, which does
more testing then consistency check, and no unified format for 0day
system to detect. This is why people suggested me to add this test
framework.

Sure, I will send fix patches (not rebase the posted patches because
they are in linux-next for now) soon.

Thanks for your comments.
