From: Ayan Kumar Halder <ayankuma@xxxxxxx> Xen provides helper to atomically read/write memory (see {read, write}_atomic()). Those helpers can only work if the address is aligned to the size of the access (see B2.2.1 ARM DDI 08476I.a). On Arm32, the alignment is already enforced by the processor because HSCTLR.A bit is set (it enforce alignment for every access). For Arm64, this bit is not set because memcpy()/memset() can use unaligned access for performance reason (the implementation is taken from the Cortex library). To avoid any overhead in production build, the alignment will only be checked using an ASSERT. Note that it might be possible to do it in production build using the acquire/exclusive version of load/store. But this is left to a follow-up (if wanted).

Referred to the latest Arm Architecture Reference Manual in the commit message. v2 - 1. Updated commit message to specify the reason for using ASSERT(). 2.
