As of today we enable unaligned access unconditionally on ARCv2.
Do this under a Kconfig option to allow disable it for test, benchmarking
etc. Also while at it
- Select HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
- Although gcc defaults to unaligned access (since GNU 2018.03), add the
right toggles for enabling or disabling as appropriate
- update bootlog to prints both HW feature status (exists, enabled/disabled)
and SW status (used / not used).
- wire up the relaxed memcpy for unaligned access

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
