While the patch looks better, my 'git am' does not want to apply the
deletion:

$ git am 0001-btrfs-Remove-custom-crc32c-init-code.patch
Applying: btrfs: Remove custom crc32c init code

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

so the ordinary diff shall be preferred.
