I suppose code-gen would suck for the 3-byte padding field between
a char and an int.  But total scalarization works with the premise
that we don't see any direct accesses to source or destination so
I think we should simply change "total scalarization" to be
"emit the block-copy on GIMPLE".  Preferably without "crossing"
field boundaries but covering padding by choosing larger accesses.
