No.  I'll try that out when I have a chance.

If the developers/maintainers of the driver could help test it, that would be a
lot easier though.  I've been cleaning up the CRC calls across the whole kernel,
and it gets time-consuming when individual subsystems insist on me running their
custom test suite(s) and providing subsystem-specific benchmarks.
