RISC-V mandates that misaligned memory accesses execute correctly in S-mode, 
but allow them to be trapped and emulated in M-mode.  As a result they can be 
quite slow.  Every microarchitecture I know of traps misaligned accesses into 
M-mode, so for now we're probably safe just unconditionally saying they're 
slow.

GCC does have a tuning parameter that says "are misaligned accesses fast?" that 
we set depending on -mtune, but it doesn't appear to be exposed as a 
preprocessor macro.  I think it's probably best to just expose the tuning 
parameter as a macro so software that needs to know this has one standard way 
of doing it.

Jim, would you be opposed to something like this?

Which I think shouldn't be too much of a headache to implement in GCC -- I 
haven't compiled this yet, though...
