Subject: [RFC PATCH] [X86/mem] Handle unaligned case by avoiding store crossing cache line

From: Ma Ling <ling.ma@...el.com>

In this patch we mannage to reduce penalty from crossing cache line
on some CPU archs. There are two crossing-cache-line cases:
read and write, but write is more expensive because of
no cache-way predication and read-for-ownership operations
on some archs, here we avoid sotre unaligned cases,
another reason is shift register will cause more penalty
on decode stages, so tolerate read.

Bellow tests cases are on Atom 64bit based on Xie's patch(value is 1).
