Do you have any specific concerns regarding this? Currently, the only issue I can think of is that the need to allocate aligned memory from the SRAM will increase the total amount allocated, which could be a problem if we end up overflowing the available SRAM. This does not appear to happen in the case I've tested -- I currently round up the amount allocated in omap_sram_push to be a multiple of 8 bytes. This, combined with a couple of ".align 3" directives, is enough to get me a booting system on omap3... but I haven't tested exhaustively.
