% The generator polynomial is G(x)=x^16+x^12+x^5+1. The message in the
% example is [0100 0000 0000 0000 0101 0110] (b0..b23). From the given
% explanation the steps are:
% 1 - Remainder register 'r' is initialized to 0;
% 2 - The message is shifted into the divider (b0 first);
% 3 - Operations are done in the order: a) XORs, b) left shift of r 
% register and c) r3 and r10 update.
% 4 - The r register is appended to the message.
