I am fine with using __aligned(x) shorthand for kernel-space code.
For UAPI headers, we get it back to __attribute__(aligned(x)) anyway, and I'd like to minimize the complex text processing.
Since __aligned(x) takes an argument, this is not feasible to process it by sed.
For example, please see include/uapi/linux/netfilter_bridge/ebtables.h
If
__attribute__ ((aligned (__alignof__(struct ebt_replace))));
is converted into
__aligned(__alignof__(struct ebt_replace))
it would be difficult to revert it by sed
