I check the function in gcc headers (it declared in xmmintrin.h ->
mm_malloc.h).
On Linux it redirect to posix_memalign(). But on Windows it has body similar
to libavutil:

static __inline__ void*  _mm_malloc (size_t size, size_t align) {
  void * malloc_ptr;
  void * aligned_ptr;

  /* Error if align is not a power of two.  */
  if (align & (align - 1)) {
    errno = EINVAL;
    return ((void*) 0);
  }

  if (size == 0)
    return ((void *) 0);

 /* Assume malloc'd pointer is aligned at least to sizeof (void*).
    If necessary, add another sizeof (void*) to store the value
    returned by malloc. Effectively this enforces a minimum alignment
    of sizeof double. */
    if (align < 2 * sizeof (void *))
      align = 2 * sizeof (void *);

  malloc_ptr = malloc (size + align);
  if (!malloc_ptr)
    return ((void *) 0);

  /* Align  We have at least sizeof (void *) space below malloc'd ptr. */
  aligned_ptr = (void *) (((size_t) malloc_ptr + align)
              & ~((size_t) (align) - 1));

  /* Store the original pointer just before p.  */
  ((void **) aligned_ptr) [-1] = malloc_ptr;

  return aligned_ptr;
}

static __inline__ void _mm_free (void * aligned_ptr) {
  if (aligned_ptr)
    free (((void **) aligned_ptr) [-1]);
}

M$ Visual Compiler redirect these functions to own
_aligned_malloc()._aligned_free() (
and has _aligned_realloc()).
However there no any _mm_realloc() function so implementation
av_realloc()will be somewhat
even more tricky than 'memalign hack' (which currently doesn't care about
alignment at all).
