Being sensible with the defaults is good, but I wonder if
we could structure cpu-defs.h (or somewhere else) so there
was a nice clear list of "here are all the things you need
to either define for your new target or check that the
defaults are sensible". Especially for things like the
type alignment it's easy to end up with something that
only mostly works if the default isn't correct for you.

Or maybe I'm being overoptimistic about whether new target
authors would actually check through the list anyway :-)
