Unlike every other architecture, sh4a uses an inline asm implementation
for get_unaligned(). I have shown that this produces better object
code than the asm-generic version. However, there are very few users of
arch/sh/ overall, and most of those seem to use sh4 rather than sh4a CPU
cores, so it seems not worth keeping the complexity in the architecture
independent code.

Change over to the generic version to allow simplifying that in a
follow-up patch.

If there are sh4a users that want the best performance, it would probably
be best to add support for the movua instruction in gcc itself, as this
would not just help get_unaligned() callers but any code that accesses
a __packed variable in user space or kernel.

Hitachi's sh4, sh3, and sh2 are all out of patent, and have been cloned as open
hardware. (Modulo the sh4 clone uses a different mmu design, but lots of
regression testing gets done against qemu-system-sh4 and sh4 hardware using the
original mmu.) Plus superh was the bestselling CPU architecture in the world for
3 years back in the 1990s, and there's a remaining userbase from that.

sh5 and the "a" designs like sh4a were created by renesas after hitachi spun off
the IP to them, and are not out of patent. I do not have access to an sh4a test
system.

All I can test is that it didn't cause regressions on my sh4 and j-core systems,
which it (unsurprisingly) did not.
