    Make '-mtune=x86_64' assume fast unaligned memory accesses. · 7a28f954
    Chandler Carruth authored
    Not all chips targeted by x86_64 have this feature, but a dramatically
    increasing number do. Specifying a chip-specific tuning parameter will
    continue to turn the feature on or off as appropriate for that
    particular chip, but the generic flag should try to achieve the best
    performance on the most widely available hardware. Today, the number of
    chips with fast UA access dwarfs those without in the x86-64 space.
    
    Note that this also brings LLVM's code generation for this '-march' flag
    more in line with that of modern GCCs. Reviewed by Dan Gohman.
