Alignment fault checking is always enabled in TF (by setting the
SCTLR.A bit). Thus, all instructions that load or store one or more
registers have an alignment check that the address being accessed is
aligned to the size of the data element(s) being accessed. If this
check fails it causes an Alignment fault, which is taken as a Data
Abort exception.
The compiler needs to be aware that it must not emit load and store
instructions resulting in unaligned accesses. It already is for
AArch64 builds (see commit fa1d37122c "Add -mstrict-align to the gcc
options"), this patch does the same for AArch32 builds.
