If you're referring to the use in ix86_gimplify_va_arg, the expander does
the same thing. On x86_64 the argument is too a pointer, generated in
stabilize_va_list.

The alias bit dates from before I gave up on getting the varargs alias set
to work right now. I figured it was harmless and might as well leave it in.

OK, thanks.

stabilize_va_list predates this patch. I tried moving the min_lval bit
from std_gimplify_va_arg_expr to here, but it broke on x86_64 because
valist is an ADDR_EXPR. I could poke at that some more if you think it's
warranted.
