Hi,

Thanks for doing this.

I have tested your patches on a 100MHz BigCore rocket-chip with opensbi running on FPGA with 72bit(64bit+ECC) DDR3 1600MHz memory. As the rocket-chip did not support misaligned memory access, every misaligned memory access will trap and emulated by SBI.

Here is the result:

~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
hart            : 0
isa             : rv64imafdc
mmu             : sv39
uarch           : sifive,rocket0
mvendorid       : 0x0
marchid         : 0x1
mimpid          : 0x20181004

processor       : 1
