Um, problem with that is that non-4-byte aligned mallocs are done with
VG_(arena_malloc_aligned)(), rather than VG_(arena_malloc)().  So now
VG_(arena_malloc)() won't be used at all unless one sets --alignment=4.

This doesn't seem like the right thing to do.  Julian, you wrote the
allocator, do you have an opinion about this?
