RISC-V: hwprobe: Support probing of misaligned access performance
This allows userspace to select various routines to use based on the
performance of misaligned access on the target hardware.
Rather than adding DT bindings, this change taps into the alternatives
mechanism used to probe CPU errata. Add a new function pointer alongside
the vendor-specific errata_patch_func() that probes for desirable errata
(otherwise known as "features"). Unlike the errata_patch_func(), this
function is called on each CPU as it comes up, so it can save
feature information per-CPU.
The T-head C906 has fast unaligned access, both as defined by GCC [1],
and in performing a basic benchmark, which determined that byte copies
are >50% slower than a misaligned word copy of the same data size (source
for this test at [2]):
bytecopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 31664899 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 5180919 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 1 took 13416949 us
