With -mcpu=generic the loop alignment is currently 4.  All but one of the
supported cores use 8 or higher.  Since using 8 provides performance gains
on several cores, it is best to use that by default.  As discussed in [1],
the jump alignment has no effect on performance, yet has a relatively high
codesize cost [2], so setting it to 4 is best.  This gives a 0.2% overall
codesize improvement as well as performance gains in several benchmarks.

    gcc/
	* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (generic_tunings): Set jump alignment to 4.
	Set loop alignment to 8.
