Description
The B2GM MPM matcher has questionable code related to use of B2gmPattern1 structures. These are only used for patterns of length 1.
The array ctx->patterns1 is of type uint8_t*, but are then always cast to B2gmPattern1 pointers. Why is patterns1 not of type (B2gmPattern1*)?
Offsets into the uint8_t array are started at 1 with a comment about skipping the first byte of the buffer. This will always result in unaligned access to the structure.

Probably not worth fixing, instead we can remove this code. Don't think anyone uses it.

My work around was to remove the b2gm and b2gc MPM.
