Hmm, I wonder if we should add a compiler bug here too.
extern void __bug_obj_not_power_of_two(void);
({
if ((sizeof(*obj) - 1) & sizeof(*obj))
__bug_obj_not_power_of_two();
PTR_ALIGN((obj), __alignof__(*(obj)));
})

I take it that theses functions can have variables passed to it for
alignment, thus a check wont help. Although, we could add a test for the
constant case.
