[LLVMdev] LLD: representation of a power of two value

It's not a big deal, but it always annoyed me a bit when I hit it, so I'll
bring it up here.

LLD represents an alignment X as log2(X) in some places and just X in other
places. It's a bit confusing. Because I always think alignments in my mind
in terms of 1, 2, 4, 8, ..., instead of 2^1, 2^2, 2^3, ..., I'd like to
propose to always use real values.

Any objections?
