[PATCH] x86, crypto: Check if gas supports CRC32

[Borislav Petkov]

Building current kernel with some old toolchain (gcc 4.1.2 and gas 2.17)
chokes with:

arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S:128: Error: no such instruction: `crc32b %bl,%r8d'
arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S:204: Error: no such instruction: `crc32q -i*8(%rcx),%r8'
...

due to the fact that gas doesn't know the CRC32 instruction. Check that
before building.

So this is one possibility to address this. Code already
has the ifdeffery around crc_pcl() which is implemented in
crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S so we can piggyback on that and not build that
file if gas doesn't know CRC32.

If no CRC32 support, it still builds fine silently, however it would be
better to probably say that due to old toolchain, kernel doesn't include
fast CRC32 stuff in crc32c-intel.ko.

Hmmm.
