arm: armv7: allow unaligned memory access
The UEFI spec mandates that unaligned memory access should be enabled if supported by the CPU architecture. This patch implements the function unaligned_access() to reset the aligned access flag in the system control register (SCTLR). It is called when the bootefi command is invoked.
