OK, so I think your fix is on the right track, I just do not like
to restrict it by adding a new API.  Note that I expected the
second testcase to work already - we should be doing a
copy of 'x' to a properly aligned stack slot and pass that
to 'get', and the code doing that should handle runtime
re-aligning already.  Maybe it's still wrong in detail?
It should be the code that's last touched by r16-8383-gcc33cf487524e7
(assign_parm_adjust_stack_rtl).
