NAME
get_unaligned - get value from possibly mis-aligned location
SYNOPSIS
get_unaligned(ptr);
ARGUMENTS
ptr
pointer to value
DESCRIPTION
This macro should be used for accessing values larger in size than single bytes at locations that are expected to be improperly aligned, e.g. retrieving a u16 value from a location not u16-aligned.
Note that unaligned accesses can be very expensive on some architectures.
