Wouldn't it make more sense to disable strict alignment checking in
kernel mode regardless of this option. I can't imagine why it would
ever be desirable. IMO the usermode default should also be changed to
allow unaligned accesses on ARMv6 and up.
I don't mind this patch as such, but I would not consider it a correct
solution.
