Sure, i will remove it.

I think it depends on the hardware implementation, event an EEI may guarantee that misaligned
loads and stores are fully supported, hardware will requires additional sychronizatin to ensure
atomicity, so it is better to use a load instruction whose effective address is naturally aligned.

>From "Volum I: RISC-V Unprivileged ISA 2.6":

"..., Loads and stores whose effective address is not naturally aligned to the referenced datatype
(i.e, the effective address is not divisible by the size of the access in bytes) have behavior
dependenet on the EEI."
