Hi David,

The current replacements of md5_transform with siphash in the v6 patch
series will continue to use the original siphash, since the 128-bit
key is rather important for these kinds of secrets. Additionally,
64-bit siphash is already faster than the md5_transform that it
replaces. So the alignment concerns (now, non-issues; problems have
been solved, I believe) still remain.
