The existing nonoverlapping_memrefs_p didn't check for
(and (...) (const_int -8))
style addresses, so I assumed they were handled beforehand.
I see that they aren't though, so unless there's something
elsewhere, really this bug existed before my patch went in.
Checking, it appears that the change_address used to create
the unaligned memory reference will clear the MEM_EXPR and
MEM_OFFSET attributes. At least on Alpha; I can't think at
the moment who else is forced to use this sort of scheme.
