I think compiler.h would be a better place?

"after which" => "below which"

Anyway, I actually have a slight preference for just using 'static n'
directly, without the unnecessary min_array_size() wrapper.  But if
other people prefer min_array_size(), that's fine with me too.  At least
this is what Linus asked for
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/CAHk-=wj6J5L5Y+oHc-i9BrDONpSbtt=iEemcyUm3dYnZ3pXxxg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/).
