Try determining the alignment of u64 on i386.  You will be surprised.
If thats the case, then thats really scary :-(

That's how the ABI is defined.

That the ABI for long long or the ABI for uint64_t? Given that u64 is a
Linux thing, it ought to be ok to do the alignment the right way within
the kernel.
