+ help
+ Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
+ aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
+ to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
+ architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
+ architectures without unaligned access.
+
+ This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
+ accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
+ though it is not a 64 bit architecture.
+
+ See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
+ information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
