  1. Include _mm512_zextsi128_si512() in AVX-512 configure probes.

  2. Properly fix AVX-512 CRC calculation bug

  3. Workaround code generation bug in clang

  4. Compute CRC32C using AVX-512 instructions where available

  5. Inline CRC computation for small fixed-length input on x86

  6. Be more paranoid in configure's checks for CRC and POPCNT intrinsics.
