Yah, I've hit this in practice. The offending instruction was an ldrex
to an unaligned address, while running 32-bit code on an "Ampere(R)
Altra(R) Processor Q80-30 CPU @ 3.0GHz". Fixing the unaligned access in
the program is one thing, but this resulted in multiple oopses in CI.

That snuck past me in an amend, will send a v2.
