Arm and compiler folks: are there some special alignment requirement for
__u64 on arm 32-bit? (And if there is for arm64, please shout as well.)

With the static-asserts below, the only thing that I can do to fix it is
to completely remove the __u64. Padding it before or after with __u32
just does not work. It seems that the use of __u64 shifts everything
in __sifields by 4 bytes.

 	} _sigfault;

^^ works, but I'd hate to have to split this into 2 __u32 because it
makes the whole design worse.

What alignment trick do we have to do here to fix it for __u64?
