Not sure - haven't looked into it.  I only noticed the condition was
inverted in passing, and when I flipped it it still compiled.
Moving the return to the end of the function made them all fail,
as they should if IS_ALIGNED is true.

Having BUILD_BUG_ON being able to compile out quietly is a problem in
itself.  Nothing special in my setup that I am aware of.

Kent.
