Do you know the consequences of this change? E.g. in the painting
engine unaligned memory access will be allowed. I am not sure that Nokia has
ever benchmarked what is faster (aligned/unaligned) access. So it would be
very interesting to know the perf difference. E.g. use qttracereply to measure it.

Phil do you happen to know why unaligned access got allowed starting from
armv6? How fast will it be?
