Tested, it gets split into 4-byte accesses by cpu_physical_memory_rw().
It's trivial to add 8-byte access there and they get all the way through
the memory API intact.  I expect there's a lot more than that to make
exec.c quad word access clean though.  I'll leave the 8-byte access in
place in case it's a good test case.  Thanks,

Alex
