Hi Herbert,

Thanks for putting this together.

Is there a case where a driver needs the minimum alignment between
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN and crypto_tfm_alg_alignmask()+1? Maybe for platforms
where ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is 8 (fully coherent) but the device's bus
master alignment requirements are higher.

My plan is to have ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN always defined but potentially
higher than ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN on specific architectures. I think
crypto_tfm_ctx_dma() should use ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (and no #ifdefs)
until I get my patches sorted and I'll replace it with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
once it's defined globally (still no #ifdefs). Currently in mainline
it's ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN that gives the static DMA alignment.

With the explicit crypto_tfm_ctx_dma(), can CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR be
dropped entirely? This may be beneficial in reducing the structure size
when no DMA is required.
