Previously when a packed struct, containing vector data types such as
uint16x8_t, is passed as a function argument, the alignment of the
struct used by the function caller and the alignment used by the callee
to load the argument from stack does not match.
This patch implements section 6.8.2, stage C.4 of the Procedure Call
Standard for the Arm 64-bit Architecture (AAPCS64): "If the argument is
an HFA, an HVA, a Quad-precision Floating-point or short vector type
then the NSAA is rounded up to the next multiple of 8 if its natural
alignment is ≤ 8 or the next multiple of 16 if its natural alignment
is ≥ 16." This ensures the alignments of the packed structs used as
function arguments are the same as described in the AAPCS64 for both
the caller and callee.

Should this change cover AAPCS_VFP too?
