The struct crypto_alg is embedded into various type-specific structs such as aead_alg. This is then used as part of instances such as struct aead_instance. It is also embedded into the generic struct crypto_instance. In order to ensure that struct aead_instance can be converted to struct crypto_instance when necessary, we need to ensure that crypto_alg is aligned properly. This patch adds an alignment attribute to struct crypto_alg to ensure this.
