Sorry, I don't understand this sentence. What do you mean by aligned after
peeling? Could you please explain what exactly happens on AVX (a dump file with
-fdump-tree-vect-details would be the best thing).

The arrays in the tests are aligned. I said that I think that we can't promise
that all the arrays are vector aligned on power. BTW, we can peel for unknown
misalignment as well.

I think that everything was ok, but I don't think that using vect_sizes_32B_16B
is a good idea. I would really like to see an AVX vect dump for eg.
vect-peel-3.c.
