> Running 32 bit ls on ia64 produces kernel mode unaligned faults with the attached backtrace on 2.6.6. I'm curious why this isn't a problem for other compat archs.

Other compat archs choose not to log unaligned kernel accesses
since they are common in some networking configurations and/or
combinations of drivers.

This one is a fixable case though, have a patch to suggest?
