There were 2 patches, one to fix ARMv7 and alignment of 64 bit and one to fix old ARMv5. We didn't have much test environment and the reply for testing was very few so we didn't have much confirmations. When I tried directly using a ARM machine the code and speed improved a lot. Is confusing actually that the unaligned access code is generated only for structures.
