   * Should be reviewed for 2.38 early so we can test this downstream.
 * Pavel: Started testing the clone3 wrapper patches and saw misaligned stack.
  * Decided to add clone3 wrapper for Arc.
  * Pavel: Do we need to align stack for this wrapper?
  * Florian: We should not modify the address on the stack.
  * Adhemerval: Since clone3 is only used internally we call it with an aligned stack with all internal uses.
  * Pavel: tst-misalign-clone will always use clone3
  * Adhemerval: Yes, you must align the stack.

Carlos.
