Thanks for updates. However, I'm not sure if the current unaligned
accesses letters make it clear:

        Y=Yes, O=Often generally ok but ma fail in some specific case, T=Traps
        may be fixed by kernel (super slow),M=Maybe generally not ok, N=No raise
        SIGBUS. See detail below

Now, the M/T for armel/armhf/arm64 which is ambigous and misleading.
Better make if clear:

        armel: no
        armhf: yes (exceptions as listed by Leif)
        arm64: yes (exceptions as listed by Leif)

And then link to Leif's mail rather than copy the text unattributed on
already long wikipage.
