Try to limit the length of your lines, these long lines make it
difficult to respond to the relevant bit...

Yes.

the zero number in kernel unaligned acc means that the kernel code
itself caused 0 unaligned accesses.
The 5407 in user unaligned acc means that user code caused 5407
unaligned accesses since boot. These are from "normal" processes.
