The special case for odd aligned buffers is unnecessary and mostly just adds overhead. Aligned buffers is the expectations, and even for unaligned buffer, the only case that was helped is if the buffer was 1-byte from word aligned which is ~1/7 of the cases. Overall it seems highly unlikely to be worth to extra branch. It was left in the previous perf improvement patch because I was erroneously comparing the exact output of `csum_partial(...)`, but really we only need `csum_fold(csum_partial(...))` to match so its safe to remove. All csum kunit tests pass.

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.
