Subject: [PATCH]: Sparc64 immediate values
As described in the commit log I think that two instruction sequences
can be done properly, and we'd need that to support 16-bit and 32-bit
values on sparc64 since the available instructions are "load high
22-bits" and "or in signed low 13 bits".
One idea is to capture all cpus other than the immediate value
updating cpu.
These other cpus look to see if their program counter falls
on an immediate value instruction sequence. Much like how we
lookup exceptions we can sort the table and use binary search
so that it isn't too slow.
If they find themselves in such a sequence, they examine the
destination register in the last instruction, load that register with
the proper immediate value, and advance the program counter. Then
they wait to be released.
The updater does the instruction update unimpeded, flushes the
instruction cache or whatever needs to be done, and then releases the
other cpus.
PowerPC could use this scheme too, if it does in fact work.
Please add to the ftrace tree, thanks.

sparc64: Optimized immediate value implementation.
We can only do byte sized values currently.
In order to support even 16-bit immediates we would need a 2
instruction sequence.
I believe that can be made to work with a suitable breakpoint or some
other kind of special patching sequence, but that isn't attempted
here.
