I haven't read the patchset yet, but my initial reaction is that
we ought to be handling this stuff in memory.c, because that
code is shared across all accelerators -- we would want the
same behaviour for accesses to a device that doesn't itself
handle a misalignment or a small access, whether we are using
TCG or KVM or HVF or whatever...
