These patches fix problems with the SPARC TCG backend code which calls the load and store helpers. Where the argument being passed to the helper is narrower than the size of the native register, the SPARC calling convention requires that we extend it to the register size, but we weren't doing that. This meant we passed the host code registers which might have garbage in the high parts, and if the host code was built with optimization this resulted in wrong behaviour.
I still see problems trying to run the bits of 'make check' that run guest code, but at least with these patches we can run the i386 bios code enough to try to do PXE boot and not find a server.
