introduces a very significant performance overhead;
Linux also does this.
On some but by no means all platforms. I'm specifically trying to
highlight the fact that on SPARC, Solaris can fix alignment issues (at a
price) but Linux doesn't try to. I don't know to what extent there are
comparable issues on other platforms (in particular x86_64) for which
both Solaris and Linux are implemented.
On PPC (603), Linux did, but netbsd didn't :-) Though that is 1.9.0 times
experience and thus slightly dated.
On mips-linux, I observe no crashes when doing unaligned access with integer instructions, but it
still crashes upon unaligned access using floating-point instructions.
