Also make sure each instruction is aligned on 4 bytes boundary, to avoid unaligned accesses.Should this get a seperate ID?
AFAIK, on some architectures, unaligned accesses will generate a fault, which will be handled by emulating the access via byte-size loads and stores (for example). So while unaligned accesses like this should be avoided, I don't think there's a security impact. Anyone who knows better, please correct me if I'm wrong. -Dan
