[PATCH 1/2] ARCv2: Enable unaligned access in early ASM code

[Eugeniy Paltsev]

Even though we do enable AD bit in arc_init_IRQ() we need to do
it in early ASM code otherwise we may face unaligned data until
we reach arc_init_IRQ() because GCC starting from v8.1.0 actively
generates unaligned data as it assumes that:
 * ARCv2 always has support of unaliged data
 * This support is turned on in runtime
