None of the x86 crypto algorithms except gcm(aes) set an alignmask, so there's
no alignment guarantee at all. So the types really should be u8, not u128. Can
you please keep the types as u8? You can just change the types of the
common_glue*_t functions to take u8, and add the needed u8 casts in
glue_helper.c. (glue_helper.c really shouldn't be using u128 pointers itself
either, but that can be fixed later.)
Also, I don't see the point of the macros, other than to obfuscate things. To
keep things straightforward, I think we should keep the explicit function
prototypes for each algorithm.
Also, the CBC function wrapping is unneeded if the types are all made u8.
