Public bug reported:

A change has been introduced through the upstream stable trees that will
require RISCV_EFFICIENT_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS be enabled to use many
of the accelerated cryptographic functions. The default questing kernel
currently doesn't enable this option, (as far as I can tell because
RVA23 doesn't guarantee Zicclsm, let alone quick vector unaligned
access) and so this will be removed by default for riscv64.

Affected kernel options are:
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_RISCV64
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_GHASH_RISCV64
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256_ARCH
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_LIB_SHA512_ARCH
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_SM3_RISCV64
 - CONFIG_CRYPTO_SM4_RISCV64

If these are being actively used and are required, the required 
RISCV_EFFICIENT_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
config should be enabled on the derivative kernel.
