AIX 6.1 added an alignment argument to the .lcomm pseudo-op. This fixes many of the remaining Altivec failures on AIX where GCC was generating a zero vector in BSS, but the block was not appropriately aligned.
I also took the opportunity to change ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_COMMON use of exact_log2 to floor_log2. * config/rs6000/xcoff.h (ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_COMMON): Use floor_log2. (ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_LOCAL): New. Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0.
