As the hypervisor is disabling unaligned accesses for Arm32, set the

Assuming this will want backporting, should it have some Fixes: tag?

IMHO this might not be needed, but the Arm maintainers should have the
final say.

This option is especially important after the whole series has been
applied, as get_unaligned() and put_unaligned() can then be used in Arm32
code, too. And without the added option this could cause crashes.
