Subject: [PATCH 1/6] crypto: api - laying macros for statically allocated buffers
Creating 2 new compile-time constants for internal use,
in preparation for the removal of VLAs[1] from crypto code.
All ciphers implemented in Linux have a block size less than or
equal to 16 bytes and the most demanding hw require 16 bytes
alignment for the block buffer.
