Yes the arm fixes this misalignment. I did't say that anything doesn't work.
But alignment fixup is an emulation which needs about 80 CPU cycles instead
of three. So it is bad.

I'm running the kernel in the emulator "softgun" which prints warning
message on every unaligned instruction. I do not see any warning message.
So my conclusion is that the kernel normaly does not a single unaligned
access.
