ARM: 7450/1: dcache: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for little-endian ARMv6+ CPUs
DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS uses the word-at-a-time API for optimised string comparisons in the vfs layer. This patch implements support for load_unaligned_zeropad for ARM CPUs with native support for unaligned memory accesses (v6+) when running little-endian.
