mainlining shenanigans
e79a317151
Due to the fact that the x86 port does not support allocating objects on the stack with an alignment that exceeds 8 bytes, we have a rather ugly hack in the x86 code for ChaCha to ensure that the state array is aligned to 16 bytes, allowing the SSE3 implementation of the algorithm to use aligned loads. Given that the performance benefit of using of aligned loads appears to be limited (~0.25% for 1k blocks using tcrypt on a Corei7-8650U), and the fact that this hack has leaked into generic ChaCha code, let's just remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
