[commit] Clean up SPU local store limit wrap around logic


Hello,

on SPU hardware, all local store memory accesses wrap around at the
end of memory (the so-called local store limit).  The SPU back-end
attempts to emulate this feature by truncating all pointer values
in spu_pointer_to_address and spu_integer_to_address.

This approach has a couple of drawbacks, however:

- Pointer values as displayed to the user are truncated, so they
  do not reflect actual values as seen by the program.

- Different SPUs can in theory have different local store limit
  values.  At the time the address is truncated, it is not always
  clear which SPU's LSLR should be used.

To clean this up, the patch below removes this address truncation,
and instead implements LSLR wrap-around at the actual point of
memory access itself, i.e. in the various target's xfer_partial
routines.

There's one additional twist: we used the fact that addresses are
always truncated to ensure overlay LMAs always differ from any
real address, by giving them values above the LSLR.  This may now
no longer be sufficient.  Instead, we encode the fact that an
address is an overlay LMA into bit 62 of the 64-bit combined
address value.

Tested on spu-elf and using combined Cell/B.E. debugging, both
native and via gdbserver.  Committed to mainline.

Bye,
Ulrich

	limit on local store memory accesses.

	* spu-tdep.h: Add comments.
	(SPUADDR_SPU): Respect SPU_OVERLAY_LMA bit.
	(SPU_OVERLAY_LMA): Define.
