Hi Charlie,

Generally, having so much ifdef in various pieces of code is probably
not a good idea.

AFAICT, if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is enabled, the whole
misaligned access speed checking could be opt-out. which means that
probably everything related to misaligned accesses should be moved in
it's own file build it only for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=n
only.

I think that rather using ifdefery inside this file (traps_misaligned.c)
 it can be totally opt-out in case we have
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS since it implies that misaligned
accesses are not emulated (at least that is my understanding).

Thanks,

Clément
