The initial Zinc patchset, after some mailing list discussion, contained code to ensure that kernel_fpu_enable would not be kept on for more than a 4k chunk, since it disables preemption. The choice of 4k isn't totally scientific, but it's not a bad guess either, and it's what's used in both the x86 poly1305, blake2s, and nhpoly1305 code already (in the form of PAGE_SIZE, which this commit corrects to be explicitly 4k for the former two). Ard did some back of the envelope calculations and found that at 5 cycles/byte (overestimate) on a 1ghz processor (pretty slow), 4k means we have a maximum preemption disabling of 20us, which Sebastian confirmed was probably a good limit. Unfortunately the chunking appears to have been left out of the final patchset that added the glue code. So, this commit adds it back in. Fixes: |

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.
