Why not change it so that you allocate these buffers after you have obtained the tfm object? An alignment of 8 doesn't work for padlock at least, but then again the padlock driver doesn't support CTR so it's no big deal. I think if you are going to worry about alignment then let's do it properly and use the actual alignment required.
