Hey that's true.
running on 64-bit kernels, it's kind of by accident, and suggests some
equivalence which isn't really there. Would it be better to force 16
byte alignment (the maximum alignment required by any ABI) in all cases,
rather than relying on the kernel's ALMASK being correct for user
applications? Just a thought.
Again I totaly agree, this seems to me cleaner to force 16 bytes
alignment rather than using ALMASK which is part of the kernel
context.
Let's go for a take #3 if Ralf has no objection.
Thanks
