Both these were Jumbo only (by me) and with the not-yet-merged core
changes I believe the extra alignment stuff is not needed at all. The
overflow "canary" logic has never caught one single bug so I though it's
better to stay close to core.

When you diff that one to core code, it's simpler to see. Code differs
much less from core now.
