Is it necessary to worry about alignment here, since xc_cpumap_t is
actually a uint8_t*.

I'm afraid I think it probably is on ARM at least, which is rather
tedious.

Or do we rely on all of these always being dynamically allocated (via
xc_cpumap_alloc) and therefore "suitably aligned so that it may be
assigned to a pointer to any type of object"[0]  following calloc ,
avoids the issue in practice?

I think we probably do, does anyone disagree with that assessment?

Ian.
