What's about an alignment trap handler like it is implemented in linux?

If you make an unaligned memory access an exeption will be thrown and
the exeption handler reads the values from an aligned address and
returns the correct values.

Indeed this is not the fastest and best solution, but will avoid similar
problems too.
