It's not necessary and would, indeed, be detrimental to operation since we'd generate alignment traps on almost every encapsulated protocol (at several hundred instructions per trap). If we do this, our network performance will tank.
It doesn't happen for all the normal cases, but it does for things like IP in appletalk and stuff like that.
Please, implement the trap handlers. Thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
