+config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
+ def_bool n
+ help
+ Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
+ without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
+ unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
+ unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
+ handler.)
+
+ This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
+ perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
+ code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
+ drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
+ problems with received packets if doing so would not help
+ much.
+
+ See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
+ information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
