Here's a patch, avoiding useless access.
This seems like a large ugly hack.
Why not make sure in the user tools that the argument is properly aligned to 4 bytes?
IP-chains works fine on Alpha and Sparc which have the same alignment restrictions as Super-H for loading 4-byte values. Thus why is SH so special and require this ugly hack?
I would really like to see specific examples of the failure before I consider this issue further.
