The problem with entering a function and then aligning the stack is that the
code in the function can no longer access the function parameters with a known
offset.

Probably the best approach to this is to do the equivalent to alloca() -
allocate the aligned data on the stack separately, and store a pointer to it in
the regular stack frame. The compiler can sugar over all this.
