Log message:
        The type of sum in csum_tcpudp_nofold is "unsigned int", so when we
        assign 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.
