  13  *  We don't do any clever tricks with unaligned accesses since it's
  14  *  virtually impossible to figure out what alignment does the CPU want
  15  *  (unaligned accesses can be emulated by the OS which makes them work,
  16  *  but unusably slow). We use memcpy and hope GCC will optimize it out
  17  *  if possible.
