I understand, but I'd still prefer to have an explicit check that the hardware alignment requirement is met. There's no cost in doing that (it's a cold path), and even if it would only fail once and with an extremely broken kernel - it's worth it. Will save huge amount of debugging pain (think of the poor guy that will have to debug this...).
