What is the motivation behind requiring 128bit alignment? E.g. normal lowering of __uint128_t arithmetic on x86_64 will use uint64_t arithmetic and naturally require the same alignment.

I'm concerned about 32bit platforms because I really would like to see the artifical restriction of __uint128_t to 64bit targets be removed at some point, so that code can naturally depend on them everywhere.
