Did you conclude that the comment about needing unaligned word access for
ldrd/strd is still accurate after this patch (and if so, for which uses)?
There was a long discussion on benchmarking starting from this patch.
Could you summarise the conclusions of that discussion as they relate to
the appropriate benchmarks to apply to this patch, and give pointers to
your before-and-after performance results?
