Hello Thomas,

sorry to answer this way; I was not subscribed to the list, and I noticed your
answer only today thanks to patchwork.

Right, the patch allows broken code to run further, instead of fail straight.
The crash can be still achieved disabling the emulation of unaligned accesses
completely, through debugfs, for example.

As Jonas reported, I think that maybe I should rework the patch for it to emit
sigbus instead of sigill on ldc1,ldc1 for mips32. Do I understand it right?

Regards,
Lluís.
