The IBM z14 POP adds an optional alignment operand to the vl, vst,
vlm, and vstm instruction (vector loads and stores). Vectors residing
on 8 or 16 byte boundaries might get loaded or stored faster on some
models given the instruction uses the proper hint operand. A wrong
hint will hurt performance though.
The attached testcase align-1 currently fails due to:

gcc/ChangeLog:
2018-11-21 Andreas Krebbel <krebbel@linux.ibm.com>
* configure.ac: Add check for Binutils to determine whether vector
load/store alignments hints are being supported.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* config/s390/s390.c (print_operand): Support new output
modifier A.
* config/s390/s390.md ("movti"): Append alignment hint output
using the new output modifier 'A'.
* config/s390/vector.md ("mov<mode>", "*vec_tf_to_v1tf")
("*vec_ti_to_v1ti"): Likewise.
