We prohibit non-aligned access in kernel mode, but some special NIC driver needs to support kernel-state unaligned access. For example, when the bus does not support unaligned access, IP header parsing will cause non-aligned access and driver does not recopy the skb buffer to dma for performance reasons. Added kernel_enable & user_enable to control unaligned access and added kernel_count & user_count for statistical 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.
