I feel like the semantics could use a little clarification here.
Something like:
MO_ALIGN = ... /* Accesses must be aligned (or CPU
do_unaligned_access hook is called) */
MO_UNALN = ... /* Unaligned accesses are permitted */
or put something similar in a block comment before the ifdef:
/* MO_UNALN accesses are never checked for alignment; MO_ALIGN
* accesses will result in a call to the CPU's do_unaligned_access
* hook if the guest address is not aligned. The default depends
* on whether the target CPU defines ALIGNED_ONLY.
*/

Are unaligned accesses always slow-path, by the way? Presumably
they must be, or this code wouldn't work...
