++	help
++	  How should we handle alignment errors in userspace by default?  This is a bitfield where:
++	  0 - silently ignore alignment errors (will lead to unexpected results)
++	  1 - report alignment errors through printk (will lead to unexpected results, but you'll know about them)
++	  2 - fix the alignment and make things work properly (performance degradation for un-aligned code)
++	  4 - raise SIGBUS on alignment traps
++	  A good number to choose is probably either 3 (work slowly but log message) or 5 (log message and SIGBUS).
++	  You can change the behavior at runtime through /proc/cpu/alignment if you have PROC_FS enabled.
