Word alignment opinion

I'm reading an ARM programming guide which recommends aligning data structures to word (4 byte) size.  For the AM335x family, are there strict alignment rules or recommended guidelines?

Additionally, in linux I ask for a 4K page for mmap and ioremap.  Any comments or opinions are welcome.
