It would be cool to care about the proper function alignment and also to not emit dummy padding nops when the padding area can be filled with the tag itself.

Looking at `MCAsmStreamer::emitValueToAlignment`, using a non-power of two alignment seems problematic. I suppose we could emit additional nops before the type identifier to maintain expected alignment for the function entry, but that would end up bloating the binary even more.
