static inline uint32_t
crc32_sse42_u32(uint32_t data, uint32_t init_val)
{
/*··__asm__ volatile(
············"crc32l %[data], %[init_val];"
············: [init_val] "+r" (init_val)
············: [data] "rm" (data));
····return init_val;*/

But wait, will __builtin_ia32_crc32si and __builtin_ia32_crc32di
functions do the trick? ICC has them?
What about prototyping functions and extracting their bodies to separate
module? Does it break anything?
