From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Little-endian POWER7 kernels disable CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS because that is not supported on the hardware, but the kernel still uses direct load/store for explicti get_unaligned()/put_unaligned(). I assume this is a mistake that leads to power7 having to trap and fix up all these unaligned accesses at a noticeable performance cost. The fix is completely trivial, just remove the file and use the generic version that gets it right.
