+ Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses

+ unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on

+ handler.)

+ This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
+ perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
+ code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
+ drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
+ problems with received packets if doing so would not help
