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

Subtracting the offset delta from four-byte alignment lead to wrapping
of the requested length where `count` is less than `off`. Generalise the
length handling to enable and optimise aligned access sizes for all
offset and size combinations. The new formula produces the following
results for given offset and count values:
offset count | length
--------------+-------
0 1 | 1
0 2 | 2
0 3 | 2
0 4 | 4
0 5 | 4
1 1 | 1
1 2 | 1
1 3 | 1
1 4 | 1
1 5 | 1
2 1 | 1
2 2 | 2
2 3 | 2
2 4 | 2
2 5 | 2
3 1 | 1
3 2 | 1
3 3 | 1
3 4 | 1
3 5 | 1
We might need something like this for the cfam chardevs as well, for
example we don't currently implement any alignment restrictions /
handling in the hardware master driver.

README
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.
