Please correct me if I'm wrong, but based on following gdb dump data on
the corresponding MemoryRegion->ops, unaligned access isn't supported, and
a read of size upto 8 may be done. 

(gdb) p/x *(mr->ops)
$7 = {read = 0xaaab5e0b1c50, write = 0xaaab5e0b1a50, read_with_attrs = 0x0, write_with_attrs = 0x0,
  endianness = 0x2, valid = {min_access_size = 0x1, max_access_size = 0x8, unaligned = 0x0, accepts = 0x0},
  impl = {min_access_size = 0x1, max_access_size = 0x8, unaligned = 0x0}}

Thanks
