attribute on parameters and return values. This metadata can only be applied
to loads of a pointer type.
The optional ``!align`` metadata must reference a single metadata name
``<align_node>`` corresponding to a metadata node with one ``i64`` entry.
The existence of the ``!align`` metadata on the instruction tells the
optimizer that the value loaded is known to be aligned to a boundary specified
by the integer value in the metadata node. The alignment must be a power of 2.
This is analogous to the ''align'' attribute on parameters and return values.
This metadata can only be applied to loads of a pointer type.
