Hi Randy,

The kernel code itself that is specific to using the SSE v4.2
instruction for CRC32C offload are using #ifdef CONFIG_X86 stubs in
iscsi_target_login.c:iscsi_login_setup_crypto(), and !CONFIG_X86 will
default to using the unoptimized 1x8 slicing soft CRC32C code.  This
particular piece of logic has been tested on powerpc and arm and is
funcitoning as expected from the kernel level using the arch independent
soft code.

On the kbuild side, I do see the following warning on !CONFIG_X86:

warning: (LIO_TARGET) selects CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL which has unmet direct dependencies (CRYPTO && X86)

I looking at trying to fix this at one point, but was unable to
determine a method for adding a CONFIG_$ARCH condition to an individual
'select BAR' section of 'config FOO'..

How would you recommend handling this case..?

Thanks,
