The "new" AAPCS-based ABI that we have been using on armv7 for a while
now requires various 64-bit types to be aligned on an 8-byte boundary.
Unfortunately we didn't realize this when we switched and didn't
adjust the definition of _ALIGNBYTES accordingly. The diff below
fixes that.
However, this triggers a flag day. It changes the CMSG ABI, which
means that file descriptor passing breaks as soon as you boot a new
kernel with old userland. That sucks since many of our daemons use
file descriptor passing, including sshd. Can we deal with yet another
ABI break on armv7? I'm not sure the ports builders have recovered
from the switch to clang yet...
