[U-Boot] [PATCH v0 21/20] efi_loader: hack for archs that cannot do unaligned accesses

[Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com>]

Some arch's have trouble with unaligned accesses.  Technically
EFI device-path structs should be byte aligned, and the next node
in the path starts immediately after the previous.  Meaning that
a pointer to an 'struct efi_device_path' is not necessarily word
aligned.  See section 10.3.1 in v2.7 of UEFI spec.

This causes problems not just for u-boot, but also most/all EFI
payloads loaded by u-boot on these archs.  Fortunately the common
practice for traversing a device path is to rely on the length
field in the header, rather than the specified length of the
particular device path type+subtype.  So the EFI_DP_PAD() macro
will add the specified number of bytes to the tail of device path
structs to pad them to word alignment.

Technically this is non-compliant, BROKEN_UNALIGNED should *only*
be defined on archs that cannot do unaligned accesses.

I'm not sure if there are other arch's that need -DBROKEN_UNALIGNED

Mark, this is untested but I think it should solve your crash on the
Banana Pi.  Could you give it a try when you get a chance?
