Description
In many places in machrel.intel.c and machrel.amd.c you see LINTED comments, this is to gag possible alignment problem warnings from lint.
As best as I can determine, everyone of these comments is misused, the issues are real and an alignment-safe load/store must be used.
cross-linking x86 from SPARC will otherwise SIGBUS. The (odd) linker UL_* macros should be used (or, probably, the less odd [LB]E_OUT* macros).
