Bug 159711 – 64-bit alignment check isn't necessary in ARMAssembler::prepareExecutableCopy after r202214

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

After r202214 this check is incorrect and causes crashes,
because the generated IC code isn't necessarily 64-bit sized.

I'm going to attach debug backtrace soon to show what is the problem here.

Will we need this when we're not emitting code over old code?

Practically we don't need this at all, it is placed to crash 
in case of implementation bug instead of undefined or bad behaviour.
