Just use "rd %%asr14, %0" this way you don't have to play all of these
fixed register games which kill the code generated by gcc.  If you
forcefully clobber a windowed register like %l0 it means the function
being emitted can never be a leaf function, tail calls are no longer
allowed, etc.

Likewise use "wr %%g0, %0, %%asr14"

Hmmm, which %asr encodes %pmcdper?

mdesc.c is only built on sparc64, this ifdef is superfluous.

I don't like the idea of duplicating 'mm' state using the task struct
copy.  Why do not the MM handling interfaces handle this properly?

Maybe it means you've abstracted the ADI register handling in the
wrong place.  Maybe it's a thread property which is "pushed" from
the MM context.
