My point is that if the crypto code kmallocs a size aligned to
crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment() (and CRYPTO_MINALIGN), the slab allocator
will return memory aligned to CRYPTO_MINALIGN even if
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is smaller.
Would the crypto code, say, do a kmalloc(64) and expect a 128 byte
alignment (when CRYPTO_MINALIGN == 128)? Or does it align the size to
CRYPTO_MINALIGN and do a kmalloc(128) directly? If it's the latter, I
don't think there's a problem.
