    attributes: Don't align to more than what assembly needs/benefits from · 6cb362d0

    For arm/arm64, there's no need to align any buffer to 32 bytes
    as the assembly doesn't need it and doesn't benefit from it.
    
    This would be much more elegant if defined like this:
    
        #define MAX_ALIGN 16
        #define ALIGN(align) __attribute__((aligned(MIN(align, MAX_ALIGN))))
    
    This works for GCC and Clang, but the MSVC alignment __declspec
    needs a literal alignment value, it can't handle an expression.
