Please include this additional context in v2:
```
These flags were necessary because these flags were not encoded in the
IR properly, so the link would restart optimizations without them. Now
there are properly encoded in the IR, and these flags exposing
implementation details are no longer necessary.
```
That way it doesn't sound like we're not using an 8B stack alignment
on x86; we very much are so; AMDGPU GPFs without it!

Cut the below paragraph out on v2. Thanks for the patch and keep up
the good work!
