Ok, I think this patch will fix the problem, at least it fixes
"git gc" crashes for me on UltraSPARC-IIIi:

====================
[PATCH] sparc64: Fix huge PMD to PTE translation for sun4u in TLB miss handler.

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.
