Chandler Carruth 4c5e8ccf74 [x86] Fix a really nasty bug introduced in r276417 where alignment
constraints were added to _mm256_broadcast_{pd,ps} intel intrinsics.

The spec for these intrinics is ... pretty much silent on alignment.
This is especially frustrating considering the amount of discussion of
alignment in the load and store instrinsics. So I was forced to rely on
the specification for the VBROADCASTF128 instruction.

That instruction's spec is *also* completely silent on alignment.
Fortunately, when it comes to the instruction's spec, silence is enough.
There is no #GP fault option for an underaligned address so this
instruction, and by inference the intrinsic, can read any alignment.

As it happens, the old code worked exactly this way and in fact we have
plenty of code that hands pointers with less than 16-byte alignment to
these intrinsics. This code broke pretty spectacularly with this commit.

Fortunately, the fix is super simple! Change a 16 to a 1, and ta da!

Anyways, a lot of debugging for a really boring fix. =]

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
