Well, I think this is going to be a little bit more complicated than this.
Octeon does support these instructions it just depends on whether it is run in
compatibility mode or not. For example our linux toolchain uses MIPS
unaligned instructions whereas our elf toolchain uses Octeon unaligned
instructions.
I am planning to sort out how to best support this on mainline in the patch
that will add Octeon unaligned instruction support. If there is interest I
can work on that after the current patch which adds the less problematic
Octeon instructions.
