The change in IRTranslator is not trivial but is NFC as far as I can tell.
This is patch is part of a series to introduce an Alignment type.
See this thread for context: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-July/133851.html
See this patch for the introduction of the type: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64790
What about taking an alignment now that we're clarified the meaning of 0 ? There's only one caller now and no alignment does not have any particular meaning compared to 1.
