Description

From Sebastien Roy's bug report at Delphix:

#ifndef __i386
#define DTRACE_ALIGNCHECK(addr, size, flags)                            \\\\
        if (addr & (size - 1)) {                                        \\\\
                *flags |= CPU_DTRACE_BADALIGN;                          \\\\
                cpu_core[CPU->cpu_id].cpuc_dtrace_illval = addr;        \\\\
                return (0);                                             \\\\
        }
#else
#define DTRACE_ALIGNCHECK(addr, size, flags)
#endif

That ifndef above should be __x86.  __i386 is only defined for 32-bit
compilations, while __x86 is a synonym for "defined(__i386) ||
defined(__amd64)".

Additionally, there are alignment checks elsewhere in dtrace.c that are not
protected by an x86 check at all.
