This series adds the __aligned attribute to atomic_t and atomic64_t
definitions in include/asm-generic.

It also adds Kconfig options to enable a new runtime warning to help
reveal misaligned atomic accesses on platforms which don't trap that.

This patch series is a Request For Comments because the alignment
change is a time/space tradeoff. Its costs and benefits are expected
to vary across platforms and workloads. More measurements are needed.

Changed since v3:
 - Rebased on v6.17.
