Can we stop talking about x86/x86_64 specifics issues here? I have an use case for the PowerPC side of the Cell BE for variables greater than the normal stack boundary alignment of 16bytes. They need to be 128byte aligned for DMA transfering to the SPUs. I already proposed a patch [1] to fix this use case but I have not seen many replies yet.
