Set fast unaligned load flag for new Intel microarchitecture
I have small patch for new Intel Silvermont machines.
http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2013/05/06/intel-launches-low-power-high-performance-silvermont-microarchitecture
I checked this on my machine and see that strcpy, ... unaligned
versions are faster than ssse3 versions.
