In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at
compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol

	HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures.  Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended
use of this symbol.

Here's a document I wrote after figuring out what unaligned memory access
is all about.  I've tried to cover the information I was looking for when
trying to learn about this, without producing a hopelessly detailed/complex
spew.  I hope it is useful to others.
