Since this code will be called for standard load/store misaligned
accesses your, I guess this needs to check if the faulty instruction
itself is a vector related one before setting it to supported. I don't
know what the specs says about that but I guess it shoukld be checked if
vector load/store and standard load/store could have different behaviors
with respect to misaligned accesses.

Regardless of that (except if I missed something), the emulation code
does not actually support vector load/store instructions.
So, support for misaligned vector load/store should be added in a first
place before reporting that it is actually "supported".

Thanks,

Clément

AFAIK, --misaligned tells spike to actually handle misaligned load/store
in "hardware" and not generate a misaligned trap so I guess you would
need to remove that flag and use a specific openSBI version that always
delegate the misaligned load/store traps if you want to be sure that the
kernel actually handles the vector misaligned load/store traps.

I previously made a small test utility to verify that the kernel
correctly gets the misaligned traps [1]. If it fails then, your kernel
probably do not get any trap :)
