The problem is that your change is arch-dependant yet you make it
run on all platforms.

On x86 we don't want to do what your change is doing, the unaligned
accesses are cheap enough.

We need to abstract this, probably in the same way it is done in
the Tulip and other drivers which have similar issues.
