Thanks for taking a look Christoph

 - why do you need your own libcrc?  lib/crc32.c has a crc32_le

We shouldn't, but we may want to add a CRC and copy routine.

 - libsa should go.  Much of it is just wrappers of kernel functions
   that should be used directly.  Other like that hash, even or state
   helpers might either be opencoded in the caller or made completely
   generic in lib/.  Probably the former but we'll have to see.

Yes, and along with it the last use of the BSD TAILQ macros. Just before Rob set up the open repos I finished converting most of those to list_head, the only one left is in the sa_event mechanism. Rather than convert it I'd like to replace the use of sa_event with notifier call chains. I just need to finish auditing the use to make sure the differences won't cause unexpected problems.

After than and unwrapping kernel functions, I think the only thing left before completly removing libsa is to open code the state machines.

Similarly I think net_types.h need to go.
