+ * SH-4A has support for unaligned 32-bit loads, and 32-bit loads only.
+ * Support for 16 and 64-bit accesses are done through shifting and
+ * masking relative to the endianness. Unaligned stores are not supported
+ * by the instruction encoding, so these continue to use the packed
+ * struct.
+ *
+ * The same note as with the movli.l/movco.l pair applies here, as long
+ * as the load is gauranteed to be inlined, nothing else will hook in to
+ * r0 and we get the return value for free.
+ *
+ * NOTE: Due to the fact we require r0 encoding, care should be taken to
+ * avoid mixing these heavily with other r0 consumers, such as the atomic
+ * ops. Failure to adhere to this can result in the compiler running out
+ * of spill registers and blowing up when building at low optimization
+ * levels. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34777.
