Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I think following patch doesn't introduce undefined behavior. With this patch 
GCC on 32-bit i386 Linux produces the same code as for simple unsigned short 
read.

I don't know wherever the benefit worth such complication. I don't know  
wherever the patch can cause performance regression on other platforms or 
compilers.
