[Note, this is existing code I wrote that Abel is just moving to a new file.]

It doesn't write to the input array, if that is what you are asking.  I was
thinking of this as one byte swap cancelling out another.  But sure, the comment
could be simplified to something like the following:

	/* The SCM call requires that the key words be byte-swapped. */

With this approach there is no need to worry about unaligned memory accesses.
It could be done with unaligned memory accesses, though, if you prefer that:

	union {
		[...]
		__be32 words[...];
	} key;

	[...]
		key.words[i] = cpu_to_be32(get_unaligned((__u32 *)crypto_key + i));
