----------------
Is alignment to 16 necessary?  I think that's only if you use CopyContext() and InitializeContext().  If you're not using any of the AVX stuff, I don't think it has special alignment requirements.  We might be able to get rid of this whole function, and all the cruft associated with the heap buffer, and just store the CONTEXT directly in the class.  Note that CONTEXT in WinNT.h is declared with DECLSPEC_ALIGN(8), so I think everything is already taken care of.

checkout llvm/Support/MathExtras.h.  There are functions to do this kind of math for you.  (This only applies though if it's not already aligned correctly.  If it is all this code goes away)
