[PATCH v10 5/6] RISC-V: Report vector unaligned access speed hwprobe

From: Jesse Taube <jesse at rivosinc.com>
Detect if vector misaligned accesses are faster or slower than
equivalent vector byte accesses. This is useful for usermode to know
whether vector byte accesses or vector misaligned accesses have a better
bandwidth for operations like memcpy.
