This triggers on LVM in a rather obvious false positive:

    (uintptr_t) &lh->offset_xl

Given that one correct use case is to take the address and cast it to
void * (or uintptr_t) for use without caring about alignment, the
warning clearly needs to be refined.

I'm also missing a test case in this commit. Most importantly, it should
test, whether it correctly handles the case of packed+align where
align > alignof(field).
