For 2012.07 there was a -mno-unaligned-access option added to all of
armv7 in a last-minute attempt to get the release working while a
solution was found, and after that no one seemed bothered enough to
handle things.

For 2012.10 we still don't have a solution but we have a root cause and
the long term solution is to get the compiler fixed, which implies
doing a patch -- I've got this effort started. Meanwhile, I see no point
in redoing for 2012.10 was was done for 2012.07, seeing how it ended up.
Therefore I will add -mno-unaligned-access only to the files which
require it. I'll send a patch later today for this.

I have see Tom's tegra pull. for my next. Priority for me right now is
the release.
