Pedro Falcato dixit:

>Small note: This isn't quite true for remotely modern x86, unaligned

It’s very much true, e.g. it breaks atomicity (ok, not relevant
*here*, but in general).

AIUI, even modern amd64 chips of all vendors are reverting to
optimising rep movsb/lodsb instead again, for stringops.

Of course the status on other architectures should be sufficient to
not use unaligned accesses.
