I also tested on a BCM63138 board (ARM A9) under ARCH_BCMBCA using the 
multi_v7_defconfig with all the UBSAN configs enabled except 
UBSAN_ALIGNMENT and board boots up fine. Turning on UBSAN_ALIGNMENT 
results in flood of false positive misaligned-access warnings. This is 
fine as ARM supports unaligned access.

It did catch an out-of-band bug in mach-sunxi smp code.  I will submit a 
separate patch to fix that bug.
