Agreed, that seems better.

So actually, this will require a bit more plumbing as I realize the
switch to disable misalignment support is global. This switch should
only be disabled at boot which means I won't be able to disable it at
runtime (while hiotplugging a CPU) for CPU detection. There are multiple
ways to handle that:
1- Have a per-cpu switch for misalignment handling which would be
disabled only when detection is needed.
2- Assume that once detected at boot-time, emulation will not change.
Not sure which one is better though. Advice are welcomed.
