    Like the 10.2 version 1635686b,
    except C++ on internal functions for my_assume_aligned.
    
    volatile != atomic.
    
    volatile has no memory barrier schemantics, its for mmaped IO
    so lets allow some optimizer gains and stop pretending it helps
    with memory atomicity.
    
    The MDEV lists a SEGV an assumption is made that an address was
    partially read. As C packs structs strictly in order and on arm64 the
    cache line size is 128 bits. A pointer (link - 64 bits), followed
    by a hashnr (uint32 - 32 bits), leaves the following key (uchar *
    64 bits), neither naturally aligned to any pointer and worse, split
    across a cache line which is the processors view of an atomic
    reservation of memory.
    
    lf_dynarray_lvalue is assumed to return a 64 bit aligned address.
    
    As a solution move the 32bit hashnr to the end so we don't get the
    *key pointer split across two cache lines.
