@palmer-dabbelt is this still the right place to discuss this matter?

Hey, we just ran into the misaligned access issues in the oreboot project.

It made us realize that a RISC-V platform can only be considered one when a note on the behavior regarding misaligned access is part of it. I.e., the same code that runs perfectly on one processor would otherwise act different on another one with the same profile, or with significant performance loss.

I also noticed a handful of other PRs here without response or gotten stuck. Can I help out somehow?
