This issue also affects SPARC and Itanium, IIRC, likely a lot of

too. It's only x86 and ARMv7+ that have transparent automatic alignment

On ARM <v7, there are software fixups via trap, which is basically the
same as the hardware fixups but with a lot higher cost. For quite a few
kernel releases, fixups have defaulted to ON. Are we sure there's still
an issue here?
