No it doesn't. I simply takes the given address & 0xF and generates
a permutation vector that can be used to align data not aligned 
on a 16byte boundary.

On a side note: The AltiVec Programming Interface Manual stats on
side 100:

"d = vec_lvsl (a, b)"

and further

"The b type may also be a pointer to a const- or volatile-qualified
type"

and to backup my complaint about not being able to vec_ld from
const types:

"d = vec_ld (a, b)" 

[...]

"The b type may also be a pointer to a const-qualified type"
