Fixed 6663621:JVM crashes while trying to execute
api/java_security/Signature/SignatureTests.html#initSign tests.
Generated code crashes in certain kinds of vectorized loops in the 64
bit VM.
Mis-alignment of vector arguments is the root cause of the crash.
Deeper issues involving the alignment code need to be investigated;
this expedient fix simply turns off SuperWord transformations in 64
bit VMs. They can be turned back on with with +AggressiveOpts.
