Subject: Re: [tip:x86/x32] x32: Fix alignment fail in struct compat_siginfo

Looking at asm/siginfo.h it already has a bunch of __ARCH_SI_*_T macros,
so I guess adding an __ARCH_SI_CLOCK_T would not be out of place.

The whole misaligned union in this structure is a complete facepalm, but
there isn't much we can do about it now.
