This patch matches GCC behavior: the code used to only allow unaligned
load/store on ARM for v6+ Darwin, it will now allow unaligned load/store
for v6+ Darwin as well as for v7+ on Linux and NaCl.
The distinction is made because v6 doesn't guarantee support (but LLVM
assumes that Apple controls hardware+kernel and therefore have
conformant v6 CPUs), whereas v7 does provide this guarantee (and
Linux/NaCl behave sanely).
The patch keeps the -arm-strict-align command line option, and adds
-arm-no-strict-align. They behave similarly to GCC's -mstrict-align and
-mnostrict-align.
I originally encountered this discrepancy in FastIsel tests which expect
unaligned load/store generation. Overall this should slightly improve
performance in most cases because of reduced I$ pressure.
