This came out of the review thread in:

D25073: [DebugInfo]: preparation to implement DW_AT_alignment
https://reviews.llvm.org/D25073

where I argued that we should not be using a full uint64_t for the alignment fields in the DI.* metadata nodes. I don't think the concrete solution of introducing a new alignment type has been discussed here before.
