Unaligned access is ok for the following arches:
cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86
Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and
the byteshifting for the opposite endianness.
h8300, m32r, xtensa
Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian:
alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh
m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok.
frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting
versions. Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused.
v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le.
Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function
under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers.
As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer
pointing to the following byte sequence:
80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87
would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be
because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()
to sign-extend the lower words.
Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e()
to unsigned int.

Have put_unaligned() warn if types would be wrong
for assignment, slap force-casts where needed. Cast the
result of get_unaligned to typeof(*ptr). With that in
place we get proper typechecking, both from gcc and from sparse,
including that for bitwise types.

gcc 4.1's __typeof__ propagates 'const', which breaks get_unaligned().
Rewrite get_unaligned() not to use __typeof__.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
