Help text

Configure the Octeon hardware to automatically fix unaligned loads and stores. Normally unaligned accesses are fixed using a kernel exception handler. This option enables the hardware automatic fixups, which requires only an extra 3 cycles. Disable this option if you are running code that relies on address exceptions on unaligned accesses.
