In the context of the Linux kernel: No.
[ Side note: there might be some DSP out there with a running Linux kernel which cannot really address a "byte" (meaning 8bits) but only in register sized quantities (and also aligned for that). But no one cares here really deeply as that is a so fundamental difference that the C- compiler must cope with that anyways in the first place. ]

Publish not only results but also everything (complete!) so that anyone can *easily* follow it to check and reproduce the results - especially if you want people with knowledge of other architectures to comment (otherwise they probably won't bother).
