As part of the general effort to make open source on ARM better, I think it would be great if we can disable the alignment fixups (or at least enable logging) and work with upstreams to get the affected packages fixed.
The only effective rate limiting configuration I would recommend is to SIGBUS misaligned accesses by default. And that's also supported already with the right flag.
So should we change the default in the prerelease kernels to enable SIGBUS? The immediate result of that would be to break firefox, which would cause a lot of questions on the mailing list.
