Sowmini,

This doesn't look like a hard crash to me. Instead of trying to fix
all the alignment issues for Sparc, can we just take the trap, fix up
the load, and continue without any further fuss? Performance might
suffer, but it doesn't seem like the bad alignments are happening in
critical paths.
