Code that shows the problem in compiler explorer.

A simple FMA loop operating on data that is aligned with `alignas(64)` is
generating `vmovups` instructions when it could, and should, be generating
`vmovaps`.

Since the nehalem architecture the cost of a `vmovups` relative to `vmovaps` is
not as large as it once was, but it is noticeable and if the data is guaranteed
to be aligned, then `vmovaps` should be the instruction used.
