I'm never (or not yet?) sure about these things.

Why is it UNKNOWN rather than UNSUPPORTED?
I thought I saw Palmer saying that there is no requirement to support
misaligned accesses any more.
Plenty of old DTs are going to lack this property so would be UNKNOWN,
and I *assume* that the user of the syscall is gonna conflate the two,
but the rationale interests me.

Is there any reason to continue in the loop if this condition is met?

heh, nitpicking the maintainer's use of whitespace... newline before
return please :)
