Workaround for alignment faults on ARMv6+, at least occur with
axe(4) and athn(4) drivers.
For ARMv6+, unaligned access is enabled by default. However, it
cannot be used for non-cacheable memory, which is used as DMA
buffers. This results in alignment faults above. A real fix is
to use cacheable memory as DMA buffers. However, it breaks some
drivers, awge(4) and vchiq(4) at least.
Until we figure out problems and fix them, we choose a fail-safe
workaround here; forbid unaligned memory access for whole kernel.
Affects on performance is negligibly small as far as we can see.
