The address held in _rs1_ should be naturally aligned to the size of the operand.
If the address is not naturally aligned, an address-misaligned exception or an access-fault exception will be generated.
The access-fault exception can be generated for a memory access that would otherwise be able to complete except for the misalignment, if the misaligned access should not be emulated.
If the Zam standard extension is implemented, the address is not required to be aligned and the weaker atomicity guarantee provided by Zam applies.
The misaligned atomicity granule PMA applies to the instructions in this extension.
The versions without the _aq_ bit set are RESERVED.
RV32 shall not implement the d and q variants and RV64 shall not implement the q variant.
