Hi David.

I only now realized that the first patch was included in the previous
set - so please ignore the patch [01/12] which do a cleanup of io_32.h.
Sorry for this confusion.

If I get inspired next step is to try to get sparc64 down to same low
level of sparse warnings as we now have for sparc32.
As you already did a lot of work this looks quite do-able.
