Huacai Chen 4159680330 LoongArch: Make -mstrict-align configurable
Introduce Kconfig option ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN to make -mstrict-align be
configurable.

Not all LoongArch cores support h/w unaligned access, we can use the
-mstrict-align build parameter to prevent unaligned accesses.

CPUs with h/w unaligned access support:
Loongson-2K2000/2K3000/3A5000/3C5000/3D5000.

CPUs without h/w unaligned access support:
Loongson-2K500/2K1000.

This option is enabled by default to make the kernel be able to run on
all LoongArch systems. But you can disable it manually if you want to
run kernel only on systems with h/w unaligned access support in order to
optimise for performance.

README

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.
