[PATCH 1/3] ARM: nommu: allow unaligned accesses on ARMv6+ processors

Commit 8428e84d ("ARM: 7150/1: Allow kernel unaligned accesses on ARMv6+
processors") unconditionally clears SCTLR.A for ARMv6+ processors, since
newer toolchains assume that unaligned memory accesses will not fault
for these cores.

This patch adds the corresponding change for nommu kernel builds.

Identical to Armando's recent patch but included here for completeness.
