[M3devel] Target.Allow_packed_byte_aligned

[Jay K]

I propose that Allow_packed_byte_aligned be set to FALSE for all targets.
Or make it const.

Or remove it.

This will degrade slightly x86/amd64 but in, I speculate, fairly rare paths.Specifically, if you manage to create a packed type with unaligned fields,presumably loads/stores get converted to multiple aligned loads/stores followedby putting stuff back together. The occurrence of the unaligned fields shouldbe very rare in the first place.

I does not affect any other target.

Granted, x86 and amd64 are the most common targets.

Ok? - Jay
