Usually the bitwise OR is used when setting cra_alignmask in the 'struct
crypto_alg'.  Indeed, the problem could be solved by setting

	inst->alg.base.cra_alignmask = alg->cra_alignmask | (__alignof__(__be64) - 1);

I decided against that because it would always force 8-byte alignment for CMAC
input buffers and keys, when in fact they don't need that level of alignment
unless the underlying block cipher requires it.
