I can see multiple hits:
lib/ubsan.c
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c
drivers/nvdimm/pfn_devs.c
drivers/misc/pci_endpoint_test.c
But in most of the places, the alignment is guaranteed to be set by the client
drivers because they might be read from the hardware register or fixed for an
IP. But in this case, I don't think we should _force_ the drivers to set
alignment to 1 (default) if they don't really care about it.
