Thanks to @kimbarrett for noticing this. The alignment was changed to 64 bits for 32 bit platforms, but overalign for 64 bits platforms.  I changed this to BytesPerLong to cover both, since the long case is why it was changed on 32 bits in the first place in JDK-4526490.
I also removed Amalloc_D since I don't know what D stands for and it's the same as Amalloc_4.  That's not a great name either. I'm open to suggestions!
Tested with tier1-3.
