[Fiona] no, true - anything which can support non-byte-aligned can presumably support non-byte-multiples. So I withdraw my suggestion. In that case: Acked-by: Fiona Trahe <fiona.tr...@intel.com> > BTW I did not see any example in the current test cases which support > unaligned bytes data. > > Regards, > Akhil
