Re: Architectures with strict alignment?

Which of the architectures FreeBSD supports (if any) have strict memory
alignment requirements? (in the sense that accessing a 32-bit integer
not aligned on a 32-bit address results in a hardware trap/exception).

I believe ARM has such requirements (at least,
GCC for Arm does some very intriguing structure
padding).
