arc770: enable unaligned access handling simulation in software

Browse Source 
This enables misaligned access handling by software in Linux kernel.

With some wireless drivers (ath9k-htc and mt7601u for example) we see
misaligned accesses here and there and to cope with that without
fixing stuff in the drivers we're just gracefully handling it on ARC.

Subject: [PATCH] arc: enable unaligned access in kernel mode
This enables misaligned access handling even in kernel mode.
Some wireless drivers (ath9k-htc and mt7601u) use misaligned accesses
here and there and to cope with that without fixing stuff in the drivers
we're just gracefully handling it on ARC.
