AArch64 unaligned accesses are allowed by QEMU when SCTLR_EL3.A is 0, but SCTLR_EL3.M is also 0
Description of problem:
As per the ARM ARM, when address translation is disabled and the access is not done from EL1/0 with HCR_EL2.DC set to 1, data accesses receive the 'Device-nGnRnE' memory attribute (D.8.2.10 The effects of disabling an address translation stage - DDi0487I.a, Page D8-5119).
Memory regions marked as Device do not support unaligned access.
Steps to reproduce:
Run the following snippet under EL3, and notice the last load instruction completes successfully (doesn't raise an alignment fault)
```
.balign 8
.global first_variable
first_variable:
.word 0x1
.balign 4
.global second_variable
second_variable:
.word 0x2
no_mmu_sctlr: .dword 0x0000000030C51834
.globl reproducer
reproducer:
ldr x1, no_mmu_sctlr // A=0,M=0
msr sctlr_el3, x1
dsb sy
isb
ldr x0, =first_variable
ldr x1, [x0, #0] // Aligned - Success
ldr x1, [x0, #4] // Unaligned - Success??? (Should be failure)
```
