NOT Aligned: 

      movq    $0, -48(%rbp) ; struct *
      movq    $0, -40(%rbp) ; struct *
      movq    $0, -32(%rbp) ; char *
      movl    $1, -24(%rbp) ; int
      movl    $2, -20(%rbp) ; int
      movl    $3, -16(%rbp) ; int = 8 byte :)

That is, do you think that access to unaligned memory this is good?

Four byte hole between int want_stale and void *data;

Oh, just say it in Russian. I don't understand your line of thinking. Andrew closed the ticket as wontfix, and I said that maybe we could have pushed this patch in the cleanup branch. Why you are asking me whether I think that unaligned memory access is good?!

Well, do as you like. ;)
