I mean the actual hardware, not the architecture.

[ I know most RISC processors started with a restriction that they only
  allowed aligned memory accesses, but AFAIK they've changed stance
  since (IIUC the extra hardware can be very little, sometimes even less
  than the hardware that would be needed to implement the ad-hoc
  "support instructions" used to do the unaligned access as a sequence
  of instructions).
  It's one of the RISC simplifications that just didn't pan out.  ]

And what did you conclude?  ;-)
