From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() helpers are traditionally architecture
specific, with the two main variants being the "access-ok.h" version
that assumes unaligned pointer accesses always work on a particular
architecture, and the "le-struct.h" version that casts the data to a
byte aligned type before dereferencing, for architectures that cannot
always do unaligned accesses in hardware.

Based on the discussion linked below, it appears that the access-ok
version is not realiable on any architecture, but the struct version
probably has no downsides. This series changes the code to use the
same implementation on all architectures, addressing the few exceptions
separately.

I've pushed the patches to the asm-generic git tree for testing.

Arnd Bergmann (12):
  asm-generic: use asm-generic/unaligned.h for most architectures
  openrisc: always use unaligned-struct header
  sh: remove unaligned access for sh4a
  m68k: select CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
  powerpc: use linux/unaligned/le_struct.h on LE power7
  asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers
  asm-generic: unaligned always use struct helpers
  partitions: msdos: fix one-byte get_unaligned()
  apparmor: use get_unaligned() only for multi-byte words
  mwifiex: re-fix for unaligned accesses
  netpoll: avoid put_unaligned() on single character
  asm-generic: simplify asm/unaligned.h
