When we have a tlb miss, defer the alignment check to
the new tlb_fill_align hook.  Move the existing alignment
check so that we only perform it with a tlb hit.

Is 0 the right thing here ? Given that alignment-requirements can
differ per-page, what happens for the case of an unaligned access
that crosses a page boundary where the first page is "memory that
doesn't care about alignment" and the second page is "memory that
does enforce alignment" ?

I can't think of anything else that makes sense. The access to the second page is "aligned" in the sense that it begins at offset 0.

Anyway, alignment as a page property is unique to Arm and...


For Arm this is moot, because an access that crosses a page
boundary into something with different memory attributes is
CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE (per Arm ARM rev K.a B2.15.3), but
maybe other architectures are less flexible.

... as you say.

Also, the comment does say "recognizing exceptions from either",
and we aren't going to do that for alignment issues in page 2,
so if we're OK with ignoring this we should update the comment.

The second page can still raise page faults.  How would you re-word this?
