This is not used anywhere, what is the reason for including it?

This should not be prefixed with CONFIG and does not include VECTOR in
the name. I assume you meant to put
"RISCV_VEC_UNALIGNED_ACCESS_UNSUPPORTED" here?

This was also intentionally left out on the scalar side [1]. The
implication here is that having this config will cause people to compile
kernels without unaligned access support which really shouldn't be
something we are explicitly supporting.

If somebody does want to support hardware that does not handle vector
unaligned accesses, the solution should be to add emulation support to
the kernel.

Since this function returns 0 in both cases, can you wrap the rest of
the function with an else and remove this early return?
