one can easily argue about what is the "proper" way. The "default" with
systemd images on a ARMv5 is that unaligned memory access will be ignored
while it used to be fixed-up.

Is this considered a regression by the OE-core/Poky developers? For
this image generation of our BTS images we are using the patch I have
proposed. Creating a cpu-alignment.service is not a priority for us
right now.
