I think recent gcc propagates alignment info down the callgraph. So maybe it could produce a call to a memset entry point which can assume sizeof(mp_limb_t) alignment? But then we're getting into magic in the compiler/libc boundary. We also have a few calls MPN_FILL (p, n, GMP_NUMB_MAX). These are convertible to memset only if we have no nail bits.
