    Description

      Platforms with alignment requirement do not need to have alignment modulo vector_width, that is too restrictive. It prevents vectorization of some simple conversion tests. Platforms often only require 4-byte or 8-byte alignment.

      This is more relevant after JDK-8298935 (where we disable "resurrecting" rejected memops). This prevents certain conversion-tests to fail under +AlignVector. For example some tests in TestVectorizeTypeConversion.java.
