Subject: [PATCH] sh: pass machine size to sparse

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.

This can of course create all sort of problems, like issuing false
warnings like: 'shift too big (32) for type unsigned long', or
worse, to not emit legitimate warnings.

Fix this by passing to sparse the appropriate -m32/-m64 flag
