Hi Randy,

I just find only select CRC32 is enough, because crc32 code in sequence selects
BITREVERSE in lib/Kconfig. I verified it on my x86_64 machine.

BTW, in mmotm, only fs-reiserfs-return-f_fsid-for-statfs2-v2.patch of the
return-f_fsid-for-statfs2 patch serial which calls crc32_le(). Therefore I will
not update other patches and only merge the modification of fs/reiserfs/Kconfig
to fs-reiserfs-return-f_fsid-for-statfs2-v3.patch. I will Cc you as well.

Thanks.
