There's still a runtime CPU feature check of cpu_has(CPU_FEATURE_CRC32).
See arch/loongarch/lib/crc32-loongarch.c.  So it's the same as before.
ARCH_HAS_CRC32 just means that the file will be compiled.

If you're trying to say that you think this file should be built only when
CONFIG_64BIT=y, then that would be an existing bug since the existing file
arch/loongarch/crypto/crc32-loongarch.c was built for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
But if you think this is a bug, I can fix this too.
