For completeness, the default behavior is in ARMSubtarget.cpp:
// Assume pre-ARMv6 doesn't support unaligned accesses.
//
// ARMv6 may or may not support unaligned accesses depending on the
// SCTLR.U bit, which is architecture-specific. We assume ARMv6
// Darwin targets support unaligned accesses, and others don't.
//
// ARMv7 always has SCTLR.U set to 1, but it has a new SCTLR.A bit
// which raises an alignment fault on unaligned accesses. Linux
// defaults this bit to 0 and handles it as a system-wide (not
// per-process) setting. It is therefore safe to assume that ARMv7+
// Linux targets support unaligned accesses. The same goes for NaCl.
//
// The above behavior is consistent with GCC.
The change lgtm.
