So with an extra field to indicate should resolve that?
I believe people should only set overlap_op_by_pieces
to true only if they are sure it has benefits.

I suppose Christoph has tried with their internal processor, and it's
benefit on performance,
but it can't be open-source yet, so v2 patch set using C906 to demo
and test that since that is
the only processor with slow_unaligned_access=False.

I agree on the C906 part, we never know it's benefit or not, so I propose
adding one -mtune=ultra-size to make this test-able rather than changing C906.
