[08/53] ARM: 7150/1: Allow kernel unaligned accesses on ARMv6+

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Nov 22 2011 - 19:59:15 EST


3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
processors

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit 8428e84d42179c2a00f5f6450866e70d802d1d05 upstream.

Recent gcc versions generate unaligned accesses by default on ARMv6 and
later processors. This patch ensures that the SCTLR.A bit is always
cleared on such processors to avoid kernel traping before
alignment_init() is called.
