This can't be correct since HANDLE_ALIGN and md_section_align perform
quite different functions. I don't think you should be changing
aarch64_handle_align. For example:
.text
.p2align 4
nop
.p2align 3
nop
The second p2align needs to continue emitting nops.
(Also, please fix your email client to *not* format lines. Wrapping
lines and changing white space breaks patches.)
