The problem in question can be easilty reproduced by building the code without this patch, MMU disabled and trying to run 'memtest' command. Which would in turn call mem_test() which would eventually call show_progress(). That last function, if build without -mno-unaligned-access would result in unaligned memory access which would result in Barebox hanging. This patch is a very conservative attempt to make sure that any code that can potentially be executed with MMU disabled is built with unaligned memory accesses disabled.
