Why is length == 0 unique to unaligned case?

Use a proper union instead of casting to avoid aliasing warnings.

Many CPU's (such as x86) won't care about alignment and therefore the extra
code to handle this is not worth doing.
Perhaps DPDK needs a macro (like Linux kernel) for efficient unaligned access.
In Linux kernel it is CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
