Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Remove several VLAs in the crypto subsystem

As suggested by Laura Abbott[2], I'm resending my patch with
MAX_BLOCKSIZE and MAX_ALIGNMASK defined in an header, so they
can be used in other places.
I take this opportuinuty to deal with some other VLAs not
handled in the old patch.
