[PATCH v3 08/21] lib/crc: Switch ARM and arm64 to 'ksimd' scoped guard API

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Wed Oct 08 2025 - 11:57:12 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Before modifying the prototypes of kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() to accommodate kernel mode FP/SIMD state buffers
allocated on the stack, move arm64 to the new 'ksimd' scoped guard API,
which encapsulates the calls to those functions.

For symmetry, do the same for 32-bit ARM too.
