Jonathan Liu reports that the recent addition of CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
causes wpa_supplicant to die due to the following kernel oops:

This is caused by the alignment handler not being fixed up for the
uaccess changes, and userspace issuing an unaligned LDM instruction.
So, fix the problem by adding the necessary fixups.

<title>ARM: 8322/1: keep .text and .fixup regions closer together</title>

This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is
a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section
for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer
to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on
large kernels.

<content type='text'>
Convert many (but not all) printk(KERN_* to pr_* to simplify the code.
We take the opportunity to join some printk lines together so we don't
split the message across several lines, and we also add a few levels
to some messages which were previously missing them.

The alignment fixup incorrectly decodes faulting ARM VLDn/VSTn
instructions (where the optional alignment hint is given but incorrect)
as LDR/STR, leading to register corruption. Detect these and correctly
treat them as unhandled, so that userspace gets the fault it expects.

Save and report (via the procfs file) the last kernel unaligned fault
location.  This allows us to trivially inspect where the last fault
happened for cases which we don't expect to occur.

Since we expect the kernel to generate misalignment faults (due to
the networking layer), even when warnings are enabled, we don't log
them for the kernel.

cr_no_alignment is really only used by the alignment code.  Since we no
longer change the setting of cr_alignment after boot, we can localise
this to alignment.c

alignment.c will not be built unless CPU_CP15 is set:

config CPU_CP15
        bool

config CPU_CP15_MMU
        bool
        select CPU_CP15

config ALIGNMENT_TRAP
        bool
        depends on CPU_CP15_MMU

So there's no point having conditionals on CPU_CP15 within this code.

Rather than reading the cr_alignment variable, use get_cr() to read
directly from the hardware instead.  We have two places where this
occurs, neither of them are performance critical.
