It has the disadvantage that you can never legitimately
set GST_HAVE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS (because it is always
undefined-behaviour by the C standard) and the slow-path
versions are slow-and-clunky. Using malloc like the QEMU
approach has the advantage of telling the compiler
what you're doing so it can emit the optimal code on
systems where it works.
