And on top of that, check what this code will do on the architectures
that do not support unaligned access. If everything is fine, mention
this in the commit message. Btw, your commit message needs
elaboration, e.g., pointing to the test case (which is absent in this
patch, I assume it's already in the kernel?) and step-by-step
instructions on how you got the mentioned results with details of the
hardware you used for that.
