When we set the sun4u version of the PTE execute bit, it's:
or REG, _PAGE_EXEC_4U, REG
_PAGE_EXEC_4U is 0x1000, unfortunately the immedate field of the
'or' instruction is a signed 13-bit value. So the above actually
assembles into:
or REG, -4096, REG
completely corrupting the final PTE value.
Set it with a:
sethi %hi(_PAGE_EXEC_4U), TMP
or REG, TMP, REG
sequence instead.
This fixes "git gc" crashes on sun4u machines.
