[PATCH] x86: Do not assign values to unaligned pointer to 128 bits

[Jacob Xu <jacobhxu@google.com>]

When compiled with clang, the following statement gets converted into a
movaps instructions.
mem->u[0] = 5; mem->u[1] = 6; mem->u[2] = 7; mem->u[3] = 8;

Since mem is an unaligned pointer to a union of an sse, we get a GP when
running.

All we want is to make the values between mem and v different for this
testcase, so let's just memset the pointer at mem, and convert to
uint8_t pointer. Then the compiler will not assume the pointer is
aligned to 128 bits.

Fixes: e5e76263b5 ("x86: add additional test cases for sse exceptions to
emulator.c")
