Oh bollocks; sorry I'd forgotten about that.

Added to the tree from which Marcelo will pull for 2.4.22-pre1...

# This is a BitKeeper generated patch for the following project:
# Project Name: Linux kernel tree
# This patch format is intended for GNU patch command version 2.5 or higher.
# This patch includes the following deltas:
# ChangeSet 1.1211 -> 1.1212
# lib/crc32.c 1.1 -> 1.2
# kernel/ksyms.c 1.67 -> 1.68
# lib/Makefile 1.10 -> 1.11
#
# The following is the BitKeeper ChangeSet Log
# --------------------------------------------
# 03/05/22 dwmw2@dwmw2.baythorne.internal 1.1212
# Fix CONFIG_CRC32=y when nothing in-kernel uses CRC32 functions
# by exporting the symbol from kernel/ksyms.c instead of lib/crc32.c,
# hence forcing lib/crc32.o to get pulled in during the final link.
# --------------------------------------------
