Following the patch 'perf stat: Fix --no-scale', an
alignment trap happens in process_counter_values()
on ARMv7 platforms due to the attempt to copy non
64 bits aligned double words (pointed by 'count')
via a NEON vectored instruction ('vld1' with 64
bits alignment constraint).
This patch sets a 64 bits alignment constraint on
'contents[]' field in 'struct xyarray' since the
'count' pointer used above points to such a
structure.
