This is because although all server- and desktop-class LoongArch models have UAL, the embedded-class (Loongson-1 and Loongson-2 series' older models) doesn't, and some of them e.g. Loongson 2K1000LA are readily available on the market so they're arguably relevant. We don't want to generate misaligned memory accesses for those systems only to fall back to much slower emulation later.

Technically `generic` should mean the `lowest`.  But as a desktop user, frankly I don't want to pay the extra cost for 2K models.
