Tons of x86 code is dereferencing unaligned addresses. Those have to be fixed before porting to ARM.

This isn't applicable to 64-bit Arm at the user application level, don't worry about it.

Prior to that, unaligned memory accesses were perfectly usable on ARMv7 (and even v6) too, this was fixed a while ago.
