to it in an asm() block, and we're running on a system with 64-bit
registers, it is vitally important that we sign extend it correctly before
returning to C. Otherwise the stray high bits will be preserved into
csum_fold, and on the SB-1 processor, 32-bit arithmetic on a non
sign-extended register will yield surprising results.
This caused incorrect checksums in some UDP packets for NFS root. The
problem was mild when using a 10.0.1.x IP address, but severe when
using 192.168.1.x.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
