It's not ARMs implementation, we don't have our own implementation, but
we seem to (today) use asm-generic stuff, which is sub-optimal.

Looking at the state of that, I guess we need to implement our own
asm/unaligned.h - and as the asm-generic stuff assumes that all
access sizes fall into the same categories, I'm guessing we'll need
to implement _all_ accessors ourselves.

That really sounds very sub-optimal, but I don't see any other solution
which wouldn't make the asm-generic stuff even more painful to follow
through multiple include files than it already is today.
