[CRYPTO] padlock: Fix alignment fault in aes_crypt_copy
The previous patch fixed spurious read faults from occuring by copying
the data if we happen to have a single block at the end of a page. It
appears that gcc cannot guarantee 16-byte alignment in the kernel with
__attribute__. The following report from Torben Viets shows a buffer
that's only 8-byte aligned:
> eneral protection fault: 0000 [#1]
> Modules linked in: xt_TCPMSS xt_tcpmss iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE
> xt_tcpudp xt_mark xt_state iptable_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4
> iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables pppoe pppox af_packet ppp_generic slhc
> aes_i586
> CPU: 0
> EIP: 0060:[<c035b828>] Not tainted VLI
> EFLAGS: 00010292 (2.6.23.12 #7)
> EIP is at aes_crypt_copy+0x28/0x40
> eax: f7639ff0 ebx: f6c24050 ecx: 00000001 edx: f6c24030
> esi: f7e89dc8 edi: f7639ff0 ebp: 00010000 esp: f7e89dc8
Since the hardware must have 16-byte alignment, the following patch fixes
this by open coding the alignment adjustment.
