I understand, but I'd still prefer to have an explicit check that the
hardware alignment requirement is met.

There's no cost in doing that (it's a cold path), and even if it would
only fail once and with an extremely broken kernel - it's worth it.
Will save huge amount of debugging pain (think of the poor guy that
will have to debug this...).

Thanks,
