Reads and writes to unsigned int 32 bit numbers must be address aligned or the l2 cache can return junk in the high order 16 bits on reads.
This patch activates the original work done for alignment in ltt for the UST code. The config.ac changes will isolate the use of alignment to the known arch type with the problem.
