However, it can not be set based on kernel options because it is shared with user land. It is supposed to describe all users of the architecture. Since we have no clue what kernel will be used, we'd have to assume all or nothing based on, say, the architecture level. I'm not familiar enough with all the implications at the hardware level to know what ARM32_DISABLE_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS would really do, so I can't say if making it default is a good idea or not.
