I tested these patches and we have a little problem when
CONFIG_ARC_USE_UNALIGNED_MEM_ACCESS is disabled. AD bit is cleared, but current
gcc (2018.09 release) generates unaligned accesses still.

Guess there's no solution to this. We could force select the option in relevant
Kconfig, but this applies to pretty much every platform and defeats the purpose of
option in first place.
