Those instructions basically do a load, but also sign extend the result.

Since we need to fill our registers by hand when doing MMIO, we also need
to sign extend manually.

This patch implements sign extended MMIO and the LHA(U) instructions.

Wouldn't

  gpr = (s64)(gpr << 32) >> 32;

work?  Not sure if >> is guaranteed to sign extend.

It's technically implementation dependent but I don't know of an implementation that doesn't sign extend.
