Hi,

The x86 intrinsic compatibility headers contain a couple of instances of
undefined behavior where a cast to an aligned type is used when that
alignment is not guaranteed by the expression to be cast from.  This
patch fixes that problem by replacing the aligned types with unaligned
versions of the same type.

Bootstrapped and tested on powerpc64le-linux-gnu with no regressions.
Is this okay for trunk?

(I also cleaned up a badly formatted comment in the neighborhood.)

Thanks,
Bill

	* config/rs6000/emmintrin.h (_MM_SHUFFLE2): Comment cleanup.
	(_mm_store_pd): Use unaligned vector type for pointer cast.
	(_mm_maskmoveu_si128): Likewise.
	* config/rs6000/xmmintrin.h (__m128_u): New typedef.
	(_mm_store_ps): Use unaligned vector type for pointer cast.

How did you find these?  What I'm after is, did you find all instances?

This is identical to __m128.  Do you want aligned(1) as well?

Okay for trunk if you want that; if not, this needs explanation (a code
comment or similar).

Thanks!

Jinsong found these by using the test cases for these header files when
incorporating the headers into Clang.  I will ask him whether he scanned
for additional similar cases.

Argh, yes.  I failed to copy this correctly from Jinsong.  I will re-test before
applying.

Thanks!

Just to follow up...

Only one of the issues was found by test case.  The rest were found by
scanning.
