 * code is performing.
 | 
			
		||||
 *
 | 
			
		||||
 * Do not use these functions for conversion of values which are in guest
 | 
			
		||||
 * memory, since the data may not be sufficiently aligned for the host CPU's
 | 
			
		||||
 * load and store instructions. Instead you should use the ld*_p() and
 | 
			
		||||
 * st*_p() functions, which perform loads and stores of data of any
 | 
			
		||||
 * required size and endianness and handle possible misalignment.
