The real kernel profiling shows a little more detail, which can sometimes
be useful. Moving the crc32 routine out of line makes it show up nicely too.

There are other ways to screw up your flash contents. It doesn't have to be
a hardware error. I'd be a _lot_ happier if we could continue to expect
such things and deal with them.

Yeah, but we can avoid the need to do that at mount time _anyway_. We can
probably also ditch most of build.c -- although that doesn't really seem to
be showing up very high on the profiles anyway.
