Are you thinking of adding "get_unaligned()" or something else?

I assume this is related to the performance issues and not
the original bug. If so, then posting details that you know
to ia64-linux mailing list will get the right people involved.
I'm on that list and can followup if people have suggestions
that need to be tested.
