Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
"Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1. The patch-set has been discussed on the public
lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
ptrace/kgdb/.. later

2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
record the revision history.

This updated pull request additionally contains

- fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
ABI

- some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

ARC: Unaligned access emulation

ARC: Unaligned access emulation

ARC700 doesn't natively support unaligned access, but can be emulated
-Unaligned Access Exception
-Disassembly at the Fault address to find the exact insn (long/short)

Also per Arnd's comment, we runtime control it using 2 sysctl knobs:
* SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_ALLOW: Runtime enable/disble
* SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN: Warn on each emulation attempt
