OK, for v4.

Yes, why not. For v4.

Because it's not the size of the struct which makes its alignement requirement,
but it's declared alignement (see pxad_desc_hw declaration, especially the
__aligned((16)) part). Would the requirement have been of 32 bytes for the same
structure size (because of a IP hardware designer whim), I would only need to
modify the pxad_desc_hw structure declaration.

Euh how so ? dma_pool_create() takes as its third argument the size of one
unitary block, ie. one pxad_desc_hw, which is of sizeof(struct pxad_desc_hw) bytes.
You probably know that dma_pool_create() allocates per pages, ie. multiple
pxad_desc_hw will be allocated at once.

Ok.

Ok.
