Do you mean as per Ard's proposal here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAMj1kXH0x5Va7Wgs+mU1ONDwwsazOBuN4z4ihVzO2uG-n41Kbg@mail.gmail.com

struct crypto_request {
	union {
		struct {
			... fields ...
		};
		u8 __padding[ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN];
	};
	void __ctx[]  __aligned(CRYPTO_MINALIGN);
};

If CRYPTO_MINALIGN is lowered to, say, 8 (to be the same as lowest
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN), the __alignof__(req->__ctx) would be 8.
Functions like crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment() will return 8 when what you
need is 128. We can change those functions to return ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
instead or always bump cra_alignmask to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN-1.
