Please don't do this, lying to the compiler is just going to result in
wrong-code sooner or later, with the above switch gcc will assume the
incoming stack is 16-byte aligned (which is not true in the ix86 kernel)
and could very well e.g. optimize away code that looks at
alignment of stack variables etc.
