I've got so used to ours that gives unaligned accesses, but I guess
in some other circles, get_XeYY() means reading YY bit-wide integer
in X byte-order from a preperly aligned address, and if that is the
case, I do not mind such a comment somewhere.  It would help those
coming from such a background very much.

Thanks.
