I don't think that was me that time (I've been posting this from time to
time for years, and I'm certainly not the only one), but here's my
version:

/*
 * RoundUp0(N,T) -- yields ceiling 1,2,...,T-1,0 (yields 0 if n % T == 0)
 * BufRound(BUF) -- given buffer address, rounds up to word boundary
 */
#define	RoundUp0(N,T)	( (T - (((ULONG) N) & (T-1)))  & (T-1))
#define	BufRound(BUF)	&BUF[ RoundUp0(BUF,4) ]

	/* example usage: */
	char buf[ sizeof(struct FileInfoBlock) + 4];

	ptr = (struct FileInfoBlock *) BufRound(buf);
