Maybe we should have a simd::unaligned_input_iterator and/or make simd::transform accept non aligned data. Note that on any pre-Nehalem CPU, the unaligned load will be horrendsously slow.
It's probably a bit late to bring this up, but did you consider a design that uses something like Matt Austern's segmented iterator concept (http://lafstern.org/matt/segmented.pdf) and imposes a hierarchical view over regular memory that segments on aligned memory regions?
The code needs to be the same for all segments in that model, unless I've missed something.
