Nothing important really, I just guessed it doesn't cost.
One contrived example I could come up with in 2 minutes:
#include <x86intrin.h>
void x(char *restrict a __attribute__((align_value(64))), char *restrict b, const char *c)
{
_movdir64b(b, c);
for (int i = 0; i < 32; ++i)
a[i] = b[i];
}
The silly memcpy loop above becomes 2 `movaps` instructions, instead of two `movups` instructions.
