dave0 in #NetBSD on Freenode suggested the attached replacement for
the crc32 subroutine in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/mbr/gpt.S, to save a
bit of space where speed is unimportant.

I don't have the capacity to test it and make sure it's the right
thing here, but it looks plausible.  Could someone who is more
i386-wizardly than I am take a look at it?
