The A20 is a Cortex processor (A7 or at least A6) which implements unaligned
access.
Anton is using (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-October/022797.html)
an AST2150 (http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/ASPEED/ASPEED-AST2150-Graphics-Driver-601097-for-Server-2008-R2-64-bit.shtml)
which is based on ARM9 which is a V5 (http://www.arm.com/products/processors/classic/arm9).
See also http://www.heyrick.co.uk/armwiki/Unaligned_data_access.

I'm trying to use Qemu to reproduce the issue however even using arm926 (which is a
v5) behave like an arm v6 (do unaligned access). I think this is a misemulation on Qemu
side (I'm using https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ and Qemu from Fedora 22).
According to http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/arm/mem_alignment I should
able to get some warning but nothing happen and data readed are not following v5 behavior.
