For both scalar and vector CONFIG_RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS probes 
the speed not support. So misaligned_access_speed will have a valid value.

```

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_EFFICIENT_VEC_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
		return RISCV_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_FAST;

	if(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_SLOW_VEC_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
		return RISCV_HWPROBE_VEC_MISALIGNED_SLOW;

	if(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_VEC_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
		
/* Sence we cant gurentee that we do have UNALIGNED_ACCESS we can return 
the result from the test */

		return per_cpu(vector_misaligned_access, cpu);

	return RISCV_HWPROBE_VEC_MISALIGNED_UNKNOWN;
