Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH] Fix unaligned reference of QEMU

Hi

In current changeset.,qemu copy data uses memcpy_words, which copies 4 bytes at once if the length is larger than 4. This causes unaligned reference and leads to a performance downgrade. The issue met in rtl8139 emulator. This patch fixes it.
