We occasionally get reports from people stumbling upon data abort exceptions caused by alignment faults in TAs. The recommended fix is to change the code so that the unaligned access won't occur. But it is sometimes difficult to achieve. Therefore we provide a compile-time option to disable alignment checks. For AArch64 it applies to both SEL1 and SEL0.
