ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel boot

Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
boot.  This can prevent systems booting properly.

There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.

So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.
