>Description:

CRC32 tables don't need to be huge.

>How-To-Repeat:

Notice that there is this huge CRC32 table in src/sbin/gpt/gpt.c,
and that a version that uses more run-time code would be a un-noticable
performance decrease.

>Fix:

Use the CRC32 code from src/sys/dev/dkwedge/dkwedge_gpt.c in src/sbin/gpt/gpt.c

Or, better yet, do something like put this in a library of some kind,
and share it in between user and kernel land.
