I meant to mention this in my last message!

The scalar version has cutouts for configs here like:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
		return RISCV_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_FAST;

Having this functionality on vector as well would be much appreciated.
I don't think it's valid to assume that vector and scalar have the same
speed, so this would require a vector version of the RISCV_MISALIGNED
tree in arch/riscv/Kconfig.
