    It's very simple, we don't do anything to the pointer returned
    by kmalloc before returning it as a tfm or other object with
    an alignment of CRYPTO_MINALIGN. IOW if kmalloc starts returning
    pointers that are not aligned to CRYPTO_MINALIGN then we'd be
    lying to the compiler.

    Cheers,
