Hi,

This series is the result of a chat with Stefan after looking at
Peter response to Bibo on a problem with unoptimized memcpy()
leading to atomic issues:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg808209.html

MIPS R6 (32/64-bit) does support unaligned accesses, but for the
older releases the compiler can't optimize the __builtin_memcpy().

When a pointer is known to be aligned, we can skip the checks for
misalignment and directly access the data. The pair of virtio vring
fields happen to be aligned.

To be able to call the aligned functions from the virtio layer, we
have to fill the gap in multiple API layers.

The series is decomposed as:
- cleanups (1-6)
- clean ldst API using macros (7-13)
- add aligned ldst methods (14)
- add aligned memory methods (15-16)
- similar changes in virtio (17-24)
- use the new methods on vring aligned values (25)

There are some checkpatch errors related to the macro used.

Regards,

Phil.
