Well, it does help SPU in the sense that the wrong code generation goes away.

However, it does so by setting REGNO_POINTER_ALIGN to the minimum of 8 just
about every time -- not sure what the impact on generated code quality is.

Maybe get_pointer_alignment should default to the type's alignment if
nothing more specific is known, at least on STRICT_ALIGNMENT targets?
Just like MEM_ALIGN defaults to the mode's alignment ...

Thanks,
Ulrich
