This prevents the scenario where data cache is on and the device uses DMA to deploy data. In that case, it might not be possible to flush/invalidate data to RAM properly. The other option is to use bounce buffer, but that involves a lot of copying and therefore degrades performance rapidly. Therefore disallow this possibility of unaligned load address altogether if data cache is on.
