This patch addresses unaligned single precision floating point loads
and stores in the single-step code.  The old implementation
improperly treated an 8 byte structure as an array of two 4 byte
words, which is a classic little endian bug.
Do that patch differ from v1 ? I also already merged v1 of this
one (the only one I didn't merge is the emulate_step one)

Cheers,
Ben.
