Description
The current CRC32 intrinsic for ppc64le (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8164920) doesn't use vector instructions effectively. Based on Anton's assemblies (https://github.com/antonblanchard/crc32-vpmsum), performance of the intrinsic will be improved.
Comments
Approved. Only PPC64 code change.

FC Extension Request This is a significant ppc64-only performance improvement which will not affect any of the Oracle platforms in any way. Hiroshi has posted a webrev here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gromero/8164920/01/ and sent out a request for review to the hs-comp mailing list: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2016-September/024346.html .
