No. However, it happens frequently that src and dst aren't co-aligned, that is,
    while (w && (unsigned long)dst & 7)
will make dst 8-byte-aligned, but (src % 8) == 4. Is it possible to somehow
ensure co-alignment? Otherwise, I would have to compensate for this in the
source (and that would probably also be helpful for i386, depending on how
slow unaligned accesses there really are...)
