3.2.64-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Robin Murphy <robin.mur...@arm.com>
commit 5ca918e5e3f9df4634077c06585c42bc6a8d699a upstream.
The alignment fixup incorrectly decodes faulting ARM VLDn/VSTn
instructions (where the optional alignment hint is given but incorrect)
as LDR/STR, leading to register corruption. Detect these and correctly
treat them as unhandled, so that userspace gets the fault it expects.
