Description
There are a few places where the align macros have been used instead of the align inline functions. One motivation has been that the macros don't for the caller code to cast back and forth between the types, the way the inline functions do.

When JDK-8178489 has been pushed, this isn't a problem anymore and some of the align macro usages can now start to use the more type safe inline functions.
