These should do it right on all architectures -- I've checked with a gcc
hacker and verified that at least the get_unaligned() version does the
right thing on both FR-V and i386. On FR-V it loads each byte and shifts
it into place, while on i386 it just loads it.

#define get_unaligned(ptr)                      \
({                                              \
        struct __attribute__((packed)) {        \
                typeof(*(ptr)) __v;             \
        }  *__p = (ptr);                        \
        __p->__v;                               \
})

#define put_unaligned(ptr, val)			\
do {                                            \
        struct __attribute__((packed)) {        \
                typeof(*(ptr)) __v;             \
        }  *__p = (ptr);                        \
        __p->__v = (val);			\
} while(0)
