[PATCH] ARM: armv7 no need update SCTLR for alignment

From: Wuqixuan
Date: Fri Apr 18 2014 - 05:56:33 EST


In Armv7, cr_alignment and cr_no_alignment are always same, in alignment_init both
cr_alignment and cr_no_alignment will be updated by clearing A bit. So there is no
meaning to update SCTLR if interrupt and exception disturbs the user-space.
