smartalign: adjust the alignment threshold

Apparently the current recommendation is for a smaller threshold when
using the "generic"-style alignment macros (short jumps are cheaper on
newer CPUs.)

Also change the alignment threshold definition to reflect the maximum
number of padding instead of when to start using jumps.
