The goal of the patch is to implement section 3.2.3 of the AMD64 ABI
correctly. The controlling sentence is, "The size of each argument gets
rounded up to eightbytes. Therefore the stack will always be eightbyte
aligned." The equivalent sentence in the i386 ABI page 37 says, "At all
times, the stack pointer should point to a word-aligned area." For both
architectures, the stack pointer is not being rounded up to the nearest
eightbyte or word between the last normal argument and the first
variadic argument.
