[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] memory: don't sign-extend 32-bit writes

[Ladi Prosek]

ldl_p has a signed return type so assigning it to uint64_t implicitly
sign-extends the value. This results in devices with min_access_size = 8
seeing unexpected values passed to their write handlers.

Example: guest performs a 32-bit write of 0x80000000 to an mmio region
and the handler receives 0xFFFFFFFF80000000 in its value argument.
