The ymm field may be used:

[hjl@gnu-6 elf]$ grep La_x86_64_ymm *.c   
tst-auditmod4b.c:      = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (i + 1);
tst-auditmod4b.c:    = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (0x12349876);
tst-auditmod6b.c:        = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (i + 2);
tst-auditmod6b.c:    = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (0x12349876);
tst-auditmod6c.c:        = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (i + 0x101);
tst-auditmod6c.c:    = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (0x98abcdef);
tst-auditmod7b.c:        = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (i + 0x101);
tst-auditmod7b.c:    = (La_x86_64_ymm) _mm256_set1_epi32 (0x98abcdef);
[hjl@gnu-6 elf]$ 

Compiler thinks it is aligned at 32byte and generates aligned 32bye vector
move.
