This patch keeps disabled the strict alignment CP15 bit for
all armv6 and armv7 processor without the mmu. This behaviour
is now same as in the mmu case.

Any feedback on this simple patch?
Well, it brings the nommu version into line with the mmu version, so
it's sensible.  Please put it in the patch system, thanks.
