We've been seeing a bunch of new failures in the *libffi* testsuite on ARM Linux
(arm-none-linux-gnueabi, arm-none-linux-gnueabihf), following this one-liner
fix. I've reduced the testcase down to the attached (including removing any
dependency on libffi); with gcc r221347, this prints the expected
7 8 9
whereas with gcc r221348, instead it prints
0 8 0
The action of r221348 is to change the alignment of a mem_ref, and a var_decl of
b1, from 32 to 64; both have type
type <record_type 0x2b9b8d428d20 cls_struct_16byte sizes-gimplified type_0 BLK

The tree-optimized output is the same with both compilers (as this does not
mention alignment); the expand output differs.
Still investigating...

This fixes a vectorizer testcase regression on powerpc where SRA
drops alignment info unnecessarily.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, applied.
