I have been discussing our recent findings about alignment padding
with Peter Johnson (YASM's primary author) and he has now been through
this in some detail and has updated YASM accordingly - see here:

In view of the padding problems we encountered, I have been using pure
nop padding in the current Windows assembler code.  But I now intend
to add a CPU directive to the Windows AMD and Core2 code so that the
recommended padding sequences are used.   I will, of course, test this
to check that this does not re-introduce speed problems.
