Improve code readability by using existing macros: Replace hardcoded alignment computations (e.g. (len + 7) & ~0x7) by ALIGN()/IS_ALIGNED() macros. Also replace (DIV_ROUND_UP(len, 8) * 8) with ALIGN(len, 8), which, if not optimized by the compiler, has the overhead of a multiplication and a division. Do the same for roundup() by replacing it by round_up() (division-less version, but requires the multiple to be a power of 2, which is always the case for us). And remove some unnecessary checks where !IS_ALIGNED() would fit, but calling round_up() directly is fine as it's a no-op if the value is already aligned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
