Yes, this support was introduced in Linux kernel 4.8 which was released in
October, 2016. It requires a z13 processor or higher. It's perhaps possible
a distributor backported this feature to a prior kernel release, although I
don't know whether that happened. It's also possible to build a 4.8 or
higher kernel without this support (if CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32_S390 is not
selected as a kernel build option). The 2016 code commits are available
here:
