After reading a bit I came to the conclusion:
- Aligned should include the structs.HostLayout field. And T of course
too.
- Aligned must be allocated on heap, since the stack might be moved.
- And as said, T must not contain any heap pointers.
Then this *should* be ok with the current version of Go.
