It is not used anywhere because it just needs to enable 
RISCV_VECTOR_MISALIGNED and nothing else.

Huh thought it would warn. fixed though.

As in I fixed it in V3.

I will remove it then.

`per_cpu(vector_misaligned_access, cpu)`

The scalar hwprobe returns SLOW if misaligned accesses are not emulated. 
Rather then storing UNKNOWN in the kernel, I thought it would be better 
to set it to slow until we know its fast as it has the same affect as 
swaping unknown for slow in sys_hwprobe. The reason i want to keep the 
code like this is because if missaligned vector loads work then sudenly 
dont we wont ignore them in handle_vector_misaligned_load because the 
the instruction should have worked. I can change it to be unknown though 
and swap UNKNOWN for SLOW in hwprobe.
