If you set it for most of the other CPUs then you will change behavior of AArch64TargetLowering::allowsMisalignedMemoryAccesses() and that performStoreCombine() thing. It may very well be one of the many artifacts showing that the aarch64 target was initially designed for cyclone, however someone working on the other ARM chips should comment on that.
