Is this right? The padlock isn't the only hardware device that will require such alignment.

So if crypto hardware needs alignement, it's You keep going back to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. But this has *nothing* to do with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. The only reason it appears at all in the crypto code is because it's one of the parameters used to calculate the minimum alignment guaranteed by kmalloc. If there were a macro KMALLOC_MINALIGN which did what its name says then I'd gladly use it.
