Btrfs had compatibility code for kernels back to 2.6.18. These have
been removed, and will be maintained in a separate backport
git tree from now on.

Intel doesn't yet ship hardware to the public with this enabled, but when they
do, they will be ready. Original code from:
Austin Zhang <austin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
It is currently disabled, but edit crc32c.h to turn it on.

Fix for a endianess BUG when using btrfs v0.13 with kernels older than 2.6.23
Problem:
Has of v0.13, btrfs-progs is using crc32c.c equivalent to the one found on
linux-2.6.23/lib/libcrc32c.c Since crc32c_le() changed in linux-2.6.23, when
running btrfs v0.13 with older kernels we have a missmatch between the versions
of crc32c_le() from btrfs-progs and libcrc32c in the kernel. This missmatch
causes a bug when using btrfs on big endian machines.
Solution:
btrfs_crc32c() macro that when compiling for kernels older than 2.6.23, does
endianess conversion to parameters and return value of crc32c().
This endianess conversion nullifies the differences in implementation
of crc32c_le().
If kernel 2.6.23 or better, it calls crc32c().
