"should be aligned" => "must be aligned"?

It would be helpful to expand this comment a bit to explictly mention that the
size of the bio must be a multiple of the crypto data unit size that was
selected by the submitter of the bio, which is the granularity of
encryption/decryption.  Keep in mind that people reading this code won't
necessarily be familiar with inline encryption.
