Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] riscv: Use CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
 to set misaligned access speed

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is enabled, no time needs to
be spent in the misaligned access speed probe. Disable the probe in this
case and set respective uses to "fast" misaligned accesses. On riscv,
this config is selected if RISCV_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is selected,
which is dependent on NONPORTABLE.
