Subject: [PATCH] Optimize generic get_unaligned / put_unaligned implementations.

It does inflate the code but back then we agreed to go for Atsushi's patch
because it was fairly obviously correct. This patch obviously is less
obvious but generates fairly decent, works for arbitrary data types and
cuts down the size of unaligned.h from 122 lines to 44 so it must be good.
