Since we only have to make sure that we can access the memory, what
about:

 struct aes_ctx {
     u32 E[15 * 16]
         __attribute__ ((__aligned__(PADLOCK_ALIGNMENT)));
     u32 d_data[15 * 16]
         __attribute__ ((__aligned__(PADLOCK_ALIGNMENT)));
     struct {
         struct cword encrypt;
         struct cword decrypt;
     } cword;
     u32 *D;
     int key_length;
 };
