IA64: Rationalize VMM mode alignment checking

This is the xen port of ia64 linux chageset of
b704882e70d87d7f56db5ff17e2253f3fa90e4f3

    [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
    
    Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They
    also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The
    kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode:
    
    * Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps
      generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle.
    * Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all
      unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference
      vector.
    
    Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make
    sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode
    as the default.
