In one of the previous iterations, I pointed out that the definition is
in a header, thus each file that includes "ctree.h" (many of them)
has a private copy of the table. With just crc32c it's just a few bytes
that gets lost in the noise but now the table is going to be larger the
impact will be noticeable.
