Don't exactly agree.
Was quite confusing. There were 2 patches, one to fix ARMv7 and alignment of
64 bit and one to fix old ARMv5.
We didn't have much test environment and the reply for testing was very
few so we didn't have much confirmations.
When I tried directly using a ARM machine the code and speed improved a lot.
Is confusing actually that the unaligned access code is generated only for
structures.
