Hm, this is a bit worrying, we don't want to introduce ABI
incompatibilites w.r.t. alignment. We still need to be ABI compatible
for MMX values and emit unaligned loads/stores when necessary.

I think we have to review the usage of these two changed defines to
prevent any ABI issues or other hidden issues.
