Commit adebad0 "arm: intreadwrite: fix inline asm constraints for gcc
4.6 and later" caused some older gcc versions to miscompile code.
This reverts to the old version of the code for these compilers.

Starting with version 4.7, gcc properly supports unaligned
memory accesses on ARM. Not using the inline asm with these
compilers results in better code.

With a dereferenced type-cast pointer as memory operand, gcc 4.6
and later will sometimes copy the data to a temporary location,
the address of which is used as the operand value, if it thinks
the target address might be misaligned. Using a pointer to a
packed struct type instead does the right thing.
The 16-bit case is special since the ldrh instruction addressing
modes are limited compared to ldr. The "Uq" constraint produces a
memory reference suitable for an ldrsb instruction, which supports
the same addressing modes as ldrh. However, the restrictions appear
to apply only when the operand addresses a single byte. The memory
reference must thus be split into two operands each targeting one
byte. Finally, the "Uq" constraint is only available in ARM mode.
The Thumb-2 ldrh instruction supports most addressing modes so the
normal "m" constraint can be used there.

This prevents gcc inserting useless UXTH instructions, at least
in some cases.

ARMv6 and later support unaligned loads and stores for single
word/halfword but not double/multiple. GCC is ignorant of this and
will always use bytewise accesses for unaligned data. Casting to an
int32_t pointer is dangerous since a load/store double or multiple
instruction might be used (this happens with some code in FFmpeg).
Implementing the AV_[RW]* macros with inline asm using only supported
instructions gives fast and safe unaligned accesses. ARM RVCT does
the right thing with generic code.
This gives an overall speedup of up to 10%.
