Yes, I've seen this before but it's not exactly what I wanted.
I'm not sure I've well understood what I read on other pages/manual.
What I've understood is :
When reading a 32 bit word from memory, it has to be 4 bytes aligned,
else it will trigger an alignment trap ( that will fix the incorrect
access but with a huge performance loss ).
But when reading 16 bits or 8 bits ? Also need to be aligned ?
