I will probably have to generate a test case to prove this to
myself but neither the code nor documentation clearly matches
what I think the rule is. :(

The rule is the buffer size should be a multiple of CPU_ALIGNMENT
which is >= sizeof(Chain_Node) where sizeof(Chain_Node) is 8 on a
target with 32-bit pointers.

Can you file a PR on this?

Thanks.
