[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 07/20] target/arm: Warn about restoring to unaligned stack

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

Attempting to do an exception return with an exception frame that
is not 8-aligned is UNPREDICTABLE in v8M; warn about this.
(It is not UNPREDICTABLE in v7M, and our implementation can
handle the merely-4-aligned case fine, so we don't need to
do anything except warn.)
