Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

To prevent unnecessary branching, mark the exit condition of the
primary loop as likely(), given that a carry in a 32-bit counter
occurs very rarely.
On arm64, the resulting code is emitted by GCC as
9a8: cmp w1, #0x3
9ac: add x3, x0, w1, uxtw
9b0: b.ls 9e0 <crypto_inc+0x38>
9b4: ldr w2, [x3,#-4]!
9b8: rev w2, w2
9bc: add w2, w2, #0x1
9c0: rev w4, w2
9c4: str w4, [x3]
9c8: cbz w2, 9d0 <crypto_inc+0x28>
9cc: ret
where the two remaining branch conditions (one for size < 4 and one for
the carry) are statically predicted as non-taken, resulting in optimal
execution in the vast majority of cases.
Also, replace the open coded alignment test with IS_ALIGNED().

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
