Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, to be added
to the 64bit powerpc chips that can do unaligned load double and
store double (and not take a performance hit from it).

This is added to Power6 and Cell and will be used in an upcoming
patch to do the alignment in memcpy() only on CPUs that require
it.

not that I have anything against this patch but is there anything we can do about the CPU_FTR_ usage for one of things like this?
