Hi Darrick,

the new prompt "CRC32 implementation" doesn't have an own help text, only its subsequent options have. This is fine with a configurator like xconfig. But "make oldconfig" only shows help text at the choice itself, not at the options:

$ make oldconfig
[...]
Quoted 10 lines

CRC32/CRC32c functions (CRC32) [Y/?] y
CRC32 perform self test on init (CRC32_SELFTEST) [N/y/?] (NEW) CRC32 implementation

Quoted 1 line

1. Slice by 8 bytes (CRC32_SLICEBY8) (NEW)

2. Slice by 4 bytes (CRC32_SLICEBY4) (NEW)
3. Sarwate's Algorithm (one byte at a time) (CRC32_SARWATE) (NEW)
4. Classic Algorithm (one bit at a time) (CRC32_BIT) (NEW)
choice[1-4]: ?

There is no help available for this option.

Hmmm, I guess there should be help available for this option. Will send one soon.
