Why do we have uaccess-unaligned.h ? Normally, these kinds of things
are spawned by architectures which have problems with unaligned accesses,
ARM being one of them, but afaik we've never need this.
With the kernel-side trapping of unaligned accesses on older hardware,
we've always dealt with the normal accessor faulting.
From what I can tell in the git history, these unaligned put_user and
get_user have existed all the way back to the dawn of git use.
Can someone enlighten me why we have them?
