We didn't get the "-mstrict-align" patch for RISC-V into the 7.1.0 release.
The boot loader install machine-mode unaligned access handlers, so in theory
you shouldn't need this at all -- it snuck its way in as a debugging attempt
because the Radeon driver was exhibiting some weird behavior.

I'll drop this from the next patch set.
