You probably want to rename those somehow.  I don't know
about you but I find 2_ and 4_ prefixes unintelligable.

Perhaps __struct_cacheline_aligned?  I don't really like
it but it's at least descriptiveof how it might be used
differently from the previous x86 macro...

Does it give a warning?  If so it doesn't work, if not it does.
