Three of them [2-4] missed base offset when calculation alignment for both source and destination array addresses. Seems they assume a base offset of 8 bytes, which is not always true. Base offset becomes 4 bytes under either `-XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders` or `-XX:-UseCompressedClassPointers`.

As a result, it could see an incorrect `aligned` param about the array addresses and thus a wrong arraycopy runtime call is selected. This is causing performance regressions (like Dacapo Spring) on some linux-riscv64 platforms like Sifive Unmatched or Premier P550 SBCs where misaligned memory access is very slow.
